Mom's Video Recipe - Ghormeh Sabzi with Chicken!!

[dee090974]

Hej nice recipy i´ll try it on day inshallah.

By the way Is your mom american??? she does not look Iranien.

[AudreyGanouna]

very cute video- well done, it makes this delicious dish seem feasible for the beginners too :) Thanks to the whole family.

[TheLavish99]

So what? I'm sure chicken is fine for this. I like lamb for this dish too but we don't need to be way too picky. Think about all the starving people out there that have no access to food at all. Isn't it becoming common for Iranians to use chicken for this dish and to even make a vegetarian version for it? Check out that video clip from "cookingwithmarki" that makes real good chicken gormeh sabzi. And to hell with beef since that is something that I don't eat.

[jaydayb]

thanks for the video....i do it without meat,and without frying, just by simmer boiling, with water and dried parsley flakes, country gravy powder, onion powder, garlic powder,salt, tomato paste, diced potato,kidney beans or frozen black eyed peas,and lemon juice...optional with mushrooms...that is a veggie ghormeh sabzi...frying is not good for you...tastes exactly the same tasty as they make it in iran

[Khashayar2003]

Yes Iranian use lamb meat for Ghormeh Sabzi and not chicken!!!!! :o)

[australiap]

chicken with ghorme sabzi? how that is even possible , well its not the traditional but i want to try it :)

[badeesh]

i wanttttt some

[ReginaPellegrino]

I love Gormeh Sabzi; it's one of my favorite Persian dishes that my husband used to cook and since he no longer is around to cook it, this gives me the chance to make it myself. I know how to make Fesanjan, and Celery Khoresh, but I've always like the Gormeh Sabzi. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

He also made it with beef!

[adibpourmike]

[zibaroy]

I never cook ghormeh sabzi with chiken is test good az beef or lamb?

[l3abeface]

Awwwww thank you thank you for posting this! Very easy to follow and not complicated.

Big thanks to Maryam Khanum! <3<3<3

[pigsaresmart]

It looks delicious! Will certainly try it out, but of course without putting dead animals in. Loooking forward to all the sabzi!

[cyphernetics]

@pigsaresmart Tofu perhaps? That would be interesting but I think some of these die hard lamb sticklers would have a heart attack!  :-0

[pigsaresmart]

@cyphernetics Yeah, Tofu is a great idea to make Ghormeh Sabzi animal- and planet-friendly. And I'll offer a plate of delicious Ghormez Sabzi ba Tofu to all the lamb sticklers, saving them from a heart attack! :-)

More vids starring chef Maryam, please!

[maxo287]

What kind of spices??? I know you guys use dry limes, can you help me, I want to make it for my Son. Is an awesome tasting dish , I had it before but lost touch with those people.

Thanks

[kamancheh]

mmmm good !

[theoneonlydave]

0:40 a discomforting image with the meat sitting above the fresh parsley.

[cyphernetics]

@theoneonlydave Really??!! You're weird!

[persianboy153]

Dis looks very very good.. i know how to make Ghormeh sabzi hella good now!!! lolz..

[3106591364]

damet garm pesar .

[mrandisheh]

chicken with ghorme sabziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ?omg dude

[cyphernetics]

@mrandisheh OMG dude! Don't do it!

[anush10]

Its better with lamb or beef, but this is good too!

[amyleeteh]

i never seen ghormeh sabzi with chicken :S

[cyphernetics]

@amyleeteh :-/

[pejad2005]

Merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii  :0)

[radarea]

MY MOUTH GOING TO RUNY FO IT I MISS MY BEST FOOD IN MY COUNTRY . THANKS MUM ANYWAY. GOOD LUCK

[puffinstuffsmum]

I don't know if this product is available in USA but if so, can anyone tell me if Sadaf's ghormeh sabzi dry herb mix produces anything like as good a meal as the fresh herbs/greens would? I tried Iran's 'Yek o Yek' tinned ghormeh sabzi and it was tasteless.

[spankyamammoth]

@puffinstuffsmum The Dry Herb mix works OK but you do need to add a lot of it.

You are better off using as much fresh herbs as you can and replace only the herbs you cant get fresh with dried.

The tinned stuff is just bloody awful and in no way represents the real stuff

[CherryLimeMimi]

Would it be totally bitchy of me to say, who cooks ghormeh sabzi like this? LOL. But in your defense, it seems a lot faster this way. I've never had it with chicken before, but I think it sounds good. I will try it like this next time.

[cyphernetics]

@CherryLimeMimi A little, but I forgive you. :)

[Ryguy1450]

Khaily mamnoon.

[TopazSandy]

My Iranian neighbor taught me this wonderful recipe using lamb. I was looking for a refresher lesson and this video was perfect...Thank You. This stew is delicious and I am now going to try it with chicken. What a wonderful video documenting your love and respect for your moms cooking.

[cyphernetics]

@TopazSandy Thank you for the love!

[yfrojas]

This was a really nice video. I just have one comment to make to help the viewer. At the beginning, would you be kind enough to list all ingredients needed to cook Ghormeh Sabzi and, if possible, with measurements.... even, if you say a bunch of parsley. It takes the guessing out of it for those unfamiliar with Persian cuisine. I love this dish and can now attempt to cook it thanks to you and your mother. My very best to your family! :o)

[Blazerez]

God bless your mom!

[texastussi]

Yes you can make Ghormeh Sabzi with chicken. Get over it ,people. Even my husbands grandmother used to cook it with chicken when lamb was out. Some people even add spinach. What I really like though, is that the Lady is not Iranian ( like me) and seems to be a really good cook of Iranian dishes.You go Ma'am, heads off to you. He just needs to pronounce the dish correctly though. Brush up on your farsi.

[cyphernetics]

@texastussi Haha you're funny! The Lady is my mother and she was born and raised in Iran. However, her background is of mostly Turkish and Russian descent. I was born and raised in Southern California and I'm told that I speak Farsi with a surfer's accent :)

[charliebad]

@texastussi My first Ghormeh Sabzi was with chicken. It just wasn't right. It's got to be lamb. I also have discovered a few tweaks such as garlic, cinnamon and scotch bonnet chilli. Yummy and healthy dish this :)

[eyesofblue217]

One of my absolute favorite meals ever!!! Thanks for this video. It's different than the recipe I have. I can't ever seem to find fenugreek leaves, so I usually make it without. Also, I put green onion and lime in mine. It actually sounds good with chicken and lemon!

[maxsaint]

where can you get the veggies in NYC/ NJ Area. i saw you were at grand central so i m guessing you are from NY. thashakkur

[cyphernetics]

@maxsaint That picture was from a trip we took to New York a couple years ago.....really enjoyed it.  however, we live in San Diego.

[cyphernetics]

@maxsaint The parsley and cilantro can be found anywhere. The Fenugreek might be a little harder to find. There's a company called Sadaf that distributes Mediterranean foods. Here's a link: sadaf.com/store/product68.html

[puffinstuffsmum]

Ooh, what a nice looking persian boy you are! i wouldn't mind a son like you - I'd be very proud. You all look such a close happy family, its nice to see. BTW, i don't like lamb either, much prefer chicken. Luvly recipe x

[cyphernetics]

@puffinstuffsmum Thank you for the kind words. My family is very small so we are indeed very close. I will be posting a new video soon.

[79payam]

What is that ?ghormeh sabzi with the chiken ?is that new ?what the F............

[cyphernetics]

@79payam What the F... is up with you? Make it with lamb if it means that much to you.

[MissPsycho83]

Awww your mommy is so sweet and seems to be a great cooker - lovely video!

[applesmoothiee]

Mmmm...my momoni makes the best ghormeh sabzi

[acpren]

I first tasted this in the 80`s (cubed beef) and loved it. I didn`t know that so much parsley was used in it. Thanks so much for demonstrating this recipe.

[yogiababua]

dude you need parsley, CILANTRO , fenugreek, chives and SPINACH for this. the chives and spinach should be a bit more than the other greens.

[YoLninYo]

OMG! Worlds first Gormeh Sabzi recipe in English! because 99% of Iranian recipes are in Persian! You and your mum get a gold star! thank you!

love the music! ABBA rules!

[M4037331]

never heard of it......but just love your voice.....it reminds me of my friend back home

[iranishsoul]

akhey fadaye har chi hamzabone ye boose bahal az ghole man mami row bekon o bego dasto panjash ddard nakone

[kodiakowns]

everyone i know always makes theirs with beef i never seen chicken...

[supanya123]

would be interested to know which part of Iran the poster is from.

I have been brought up in a family who have run number of resturants in Iran as well as London and never have i seen Ghormeh sabzi with chicken.

The real Ghormeh Sabzi is made with lamb.

[rminb010204]

Honestly, I think almost every Iranian believes everyone else's Ghormeh Sabzi is awful compared to their mothers. I have yet to try some that I like except for good old mom's. (Who is also named Maryam) Haha.

[yallabre85]

woow nice !! =)

[cherokiimslm]

IT looks GREAT but wonder if it would be OK without the beans

[63266]

wow, thank you so much for uploading this nice video

[danielhagigi]

thank you so much, there will be some Gorme sabzi made this weekend even in Denmark after 8 years:)

[shinesthrudarain]

my moms is better

[Mrsalwaysright1]

BTW, wasss-up with Mr.Puffy? Why does the religion matter here? Its just a recipe people!! get over u-selves be a bit grateful !!! soooooo por-ru "wouldn't bother me either way" why would u ask if it doesn't bother u either way?? lol.... Plz share more of u mom's recipe.

[cyphernetics]

@Mrsalwaysright1 Thank you. Sabzi Kookoo is next and it's sooo tasty!

[puffinstuffsmum]

@Mrsalwaysright1 Was just a question, just interested, no laws against that yet are there? Didn't know it was a federal offense to enquire as to someone's religion. Jesus. Or Allah/Buddha/Brahma/Ahura Mazda/Great Spirit. Did I leave anyone out? Good, tough shit!!!!!

[puffinstuffsmum]

@Mrsalwaysright1 Oh, BTW, it's MRS Puffy. Don't be sexist. Love and hugs xxxxx

[cyphernetics]

@puffinstuffsmum So you like to get baked? ......... Nice!!

[Mrsalwaysright1]

@cypheretics thx so much 4 sharing. Unlike Mr.Sefr here I have tried Gh.sabzi with chicken many times, its actually very tasty so Mr.Sefr here should'v tried it before postin a comment, dont u agree?? Ive been out of Iran 4 a very long time as well, so I appreciate the fact that u r tryin to preserve u mom's rec. I am guessing that some people back in Iran don't and won't ever understand what this means to us..

[LTUK85]

Never had Ghormeh Sabzi with chicken before. Still looks delicious to me! Not too keen on the music though!!

[cyphernetics]

@LTUK85 LOL!! Come on, Abba is great!

[LTUK85]

@cyphernetics lol..Just remembered there is another dish very similar to Ghormeh Sabzi but with 'black eyed beans' instead of red beans, and its with chicken too.. i don't know the name of the dish but I've had it before!

[Vietmom2]

Thanks for sharing. Persian cooking is the best. I had to laugh at the comments about lamb versus chicken, though. I always make it with cubed beef (I'll try the chicken though). I flavor the beef with salt, pepper, cinammon and a touch of nutmeg when I brown it. PS - if you're cutting up all the veggies (parsley, leek, spinach, etc.), cut twice the amount and then use them for Kukuye Sabzi!

[cyphernetics]

@Vietmom2 I believe the red bean is the best compliment to the chicken. The bean, meat combination is important.

[mohammadhassanzadeh]

looks delicious- but we use lamb...

[SROMrPink]

now everyone gathers here and talks how they make ghorme sabzi.

how about all of you upload your way of cooking this delicious dish and link it on this video?

[schizophrantic]

The way my mom does it is to boil vegetables in water, not fry them. She puts lean beef cubes in it. No oil whatever. Cooking it this way is very healthy.

And I never heard of chicken in ghormeh sabzi. I won't like it.

[cyphernetics]

Healthy indeed. Sounds kinda bland though. Thanks for sharing.

[schizophrantic]

I can understand why it would appear bland for you. We get used to how we ate our food since childhood. My dad calls my mom's food, "hospital food," since there is no fat and very little salt in it. He makes his own traditional foods with lots of fat and salt in them, which none of us eat.

On a side note some Argentinian lady once cooked pasta for us placing a boiled chicken leg instead of meat sauce on top of the pasta for each person. I thought that was weird.

[puffinstuffsmum]

Thanks for that, is your family Zoroastrian? You don't seem like Muslim Iranians. Just wondered, wouldn't bother me either way x

[cyphernetics]

No....Muslim background but we don't identify with any religion. We just believe in one love, God/thing/whathaveyou.

[PersianImm0rtal]

lol i make it with Sirloin aswell.

But yeah omg this is my fave food

[darab007]

Good for you for making such a beautiful memory with your lovely mother and sharing it with us ... many thanks

[reptilianshifter]

Booya!

Looks good.  I'd make it with Sirloin though.

[SefrBistoYek]

akhe too ghormesabzi gooshte morgh mirizan?dehatiiiii

[cyphernetics]

Dehatiiiiii? Really? WOW! You went through so much trouble to try and insult me instead of contributing something we can all learn from. We've made it with every meat and bean combination and this is my favorite. I made the video for me, not for you. So 021, cool your jets and stop being a typical agro middle eastern. Thank you.

[SefrBistoYek]

dude,ive been livin most of my life in TEHRAN,but ive never seen ghormesabzi being made with chiken,neither in families nor in the restaurants,

2nd if u dont like ME thats your own problem caz IRAN is located in ME,i get annoyed when i see so called IRANIAN like you who has lost their race in the west.shame on u man

[cyphernetics]

@SefrBistoYek You really are a comedian. You started your tirade with "dude" so what does that say about you. I've been to Iran, I speak the language, I'm trying to preserve the recipes and somehow I've lost my race? The only race I'm apart of is the human race. I appreciate my heritage but it's behavior like yours that makes me embarrassed for it because angry dudes like you abound. By the way, I never claimed to be anything. I just posted a video of my mom's cooking..... chill out!

[TheGreatAfricanGuru]

i am sorry my friend, this chicken sabzi, NOT ghormeh sabzi.

and if you don't like lamb, you are one big mommy's boy or in american lingo you are a woos.

by the way, i am just kidding, nice video and seriously, lamb is delicious especially kosha lamb

[cyphernetics]

Nice one dude. But.....agree to disagree! Like Burger King, have it your way! Use whatever meat you want......fish would be weird though!

[wecochaz3]

Good video,

every country in mediteranee has a similar dish. In Tunisia we only use spinag and we fry till it's almost burn. We call that pkaiilla

[AlmazB]

For every Persian family each has their own way of cooking Ghromeh Sabzi. I LOVE my with chicken too. Great video

[noahsarcooo]

The way it is explained makes it impossible for people to recreate the dish...

how much of what?

how long do u fry the herbs?

chicken??????? excuse me...???Thats a slap in the face...

i am 100% sure what she does tastes good but i am afraid i will have to keep looking for the "real deal" to send to my German friends on youtube...

Bon Apetite

[ss2144]

nice chicken sabzi dish. thanks :)

[MrSipaay]

Ghorme sabzi ba morgh ??? That was new ! Thanx for a nice video thow :D

Thank you

[Alina00]

how cute

[mondiablue]

YUMMY!!!!

[withoutmercyuk]

I was taught to cook this with beef, flat leaf parsley, leek, coriander - they are all variations on a theme - but its a fab dish. I am gonna try chicken next - coz it looks yummy, today however, sabzi is with beef :-)

[SuperAziz09]

im afghan but this is my faivourite food of all time....i dont think there is anybody that doesnt like this food, cuz its just awsome

my mom alwayz makes this food for us

[theirishcolleen]

I have made this dish with beef but chicken sounds even better. I will try this dish. Please post more Iranian dishes. I really want to learn more. Thank you.

[peymaania]

I love Persian Moms and I love ABBA!

[peymaania]

Another way of making this with less oil would be to use spray oils or even a chinese wok would work! But you would need a Gas Burner for that!

[Phenomen4l]

MERCI!

Rahss Meeghee. Thank you for not telling that it's wrong to cook it with chicken!

[supanya123]

Hi, thank you for the video. Enjoyable to watch but not exactly correct.

There are 4 herbs used in this dish.

Parsley, coriandor, Chives(tareh) and Furngreek.

Also chicken is never used.

Lamb is the meat to use.

[feric77]

YES BAby I agree, red meat and LAMB is the best

many families use beef as well

But wow, i love lamb

specially if u order fresh one whole Halal lamb from Jaxonville Florida!!

[LoCastro23]

Thank you for sharing this video, looks very delicious. I'm mexican and my husband is persian, he would be very surprised when I cooke this for him! Hodafez
