Khoresh karafs
Khoresh karafs (Persian: خورش کرفس, lit. 'celery stew') is a traditional Iranian dish. As the name suggests, celery is the main part of this dish. Traditionally, celery stew is usually prepared with meat, but unlike Ghormeh sabzi or Gheimeh, it is common to use chicken meat in it. This food has become more diverse in recent years and its vegan varieties have entered the diet of Iranian families. In terms of taste, this stew is characterized by being sour. Traditionally, unripe grapes are used as a souring agent, but the use of lemon juice, tamarind, or even Citric acid also occurs as an alternative souring agent. Celery stew, like other types of stew, is almost always served with rice.[1][2]
