Ingredients:
2 lbs Chicken Breast, Cubed (Chicken Thigh, Lean Beef, or Lamb work as well)
1 Onion, Chopped
1 pack (2.5oz) Dehydrated Vegetables for Ghormeh Sabzi (Parsley, Leek, Fenugreek)
12 oz Leafy Greens
1 Can Kidney or Pinto Beans
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Salt (Himalayan salt if you have it)
1 tsp Cardamom
½ tsp Saffron
2 Tbs Rose Water
2 Dried Limes, or 1 Tbs Lime Juice
4 Tbs Coconut Oil
Directions:
1. Soak dehydrated vegetables in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes so they can re-hydrate.
2. Drain soaking vegetables (will have a texture similar to thawed frozen spinach), and squeeze out extra water with your hands.
3. Heat 2 Tbs coconut oil in a large fry pan over medium heat. Add rehydrated vegetables, and sauté for 15-20 minutes (you will notice the aroma beginning to change).
4. While vegetables are cooking, heat 2 Tbs coconut oil in a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add chicken and onion and brown for about 5-10 minutes.
5. Add spices, rose water, and limes (or lime juice) to the chicken, and sauté for another 5 minutes.
6. Add 1 cup of water, beans, leafy greens and “fried” rehydrated vegetables to the chicken-onion pot. Mix, cover and simmer over medium low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, and flavors have combined.
7. Serve alone, or over basmati rice.
