Khoresh is characterized by a complex interplay of sweet, sour, savory, and aromatic flavors.
Common flavor profiles include the tang of lemon or dried limes, the sweetness of fruits like prunes or apricots, the earthy notes of saffron and turmeric, and the richness of slow-cooked meats or vegetables. Aromatic herbs like parsley, cilantro, and mint are frequently used. The balance of these flavors creates a depth and complexity that is a hallmark of Persian cuisine.

Saffron Infusion
To extract the most flavor and color from saffron, grind the threads and steep them in hot water or ice water for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the stew. Ice water is rumored to draw out more color.
Slow Cooking
Khoresh benefits from slow cooking, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. This also tenderizes the meat and vegetables, creating a more harmonious texture.
Adjusting Sweetness and Sourness
The balance of sweetness and sourness is crucial. Taste the Khoresh throughout the cooking process and adjust the amount of lemon juice, dried limes, or sugar to achieve the desired flavor profile. Starting with less and adding more is always preferred.
Browning the Meat
Browning the meat before adding it to the stew is very important as it adds an extra depth of flavour. Make sure to brown it properly and not rush this process.
