Ramaki-ye Ramezan[edit | edit source]
Ramaki-ye Ramezan is a traditional Iranian dish that is commonly prepared and enjoyed during the holy month of Ramadan. It is a flavorful and hearty dish that provides sustenance to those fasting during daylight hours.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients used in Ramaki-ye Ramezan include:
- Lamb or beef: The meat is typically cut into small pieces and cooked until tender.
- Chickpeas: These legumes add a nutty flavor and texture to the dish.
- Rice: Long-grain rice is used to create a fluffy and aromatic base for the dish.
- Onions: Onions are sautéed until golden brown to add depth of flavor.
- Spices: A combination of spices such as turmeric, cinnamon, and cumin are used to season the dish.
- Dried fruits: Dried apricots, raisins, and dates are often added to provide a hint of sweetness.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare Ramaki-ye Ramezan, follow these steps:
1. In a large pot, heat some oil and sauté the onions until golden brown. 2. Add the meat to the pot and cook until browned on all sides. 3. Add the spices and stir well to coat the meat. 4. Pour in enough water to cover the meat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about an hour or until the meat is tender. 5. Add the chickpeas and dried fruits to the pot and continue cooking for another 30 minutes. 6. In a separate pot, cook the rice according to package instructions. 7. Once the rice is cooked, drain any excess water and add it to the pot with the meat and chickpeas. Mix well to combine. 8. Cover the pot and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serving[edit | edit source]
Ramaki-ye Ramezan is typically served hot and can be enjoyed on its own or with a side of yogurt or salad. It is often garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
