Abgoosht

Dizi in pots

A simple Dizi dish during consumption

Ābgusht (Persian: آبگوشت‎, literally translated as "water-meat"), is an Iranian stew. It is also called Dizi, which refers to the traditional stone crocks it is served in. Ābgusht is usually made with lamb, chickpeas, white beans, onion, potatoes, and tomatoes, turmeric, and dried lime. Other variations exist in the beans used, such as kidney beans and black-eyed peas. The ingredients are combined together and cooked until done, at which point the dish is strained. The solids are then mashed and served with the broth, but in a separate dish, along with flatbread. It is a form of Piti, which encompasses many similar dishes in the region.
