Not-Quite-Persian Ghormeh Sabzi (Green Stew) for the Slow Cooker image

This is Persian green stew. I titled this 'Not Quite Ghormeh Sabzi' because I'm not quite Persian, but I grew up with a Persian step-father who would cook the most awesome Ghormeh Sabzi. My understanding is that Ghormeh Sabzi literally means 'green stew' in Farsi but since many of my Persian friends have taken delight in teaching me to say the wrong thing, don't take my word for it. Every Persian I know makes this slightly differently, so the version here is a mix of several recipes, based largely on what I could get at any major grocery store. It's not traditional, but it's so good. Serve over white rice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I had a bunch of cilantro and parsley that I needed to use up, and this was the perfect way to do it.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stew turned out kind of bland. I might try adding more spices next time.
