  • How to prepare Khoresh Mast

To prepare Isfahan Khoresh Mast, first fill a suitable pot of water and put it on heat; Then after peeling the onion, cut it in half and add it to the pot. Then add the neck meat with a little turmeric and let it cook completely on high heat.

After cooking the meat, remove the heat and take out the meat. Carefully remove the bones in the meat, then put the meat into a suitable container (preferably a copper dish).

This is the most important step and should be done perfectly. At this point, you have to beat the meat until it turns white. If you do this well your Khoresh will become elastic and cohesive.

In the next step, select a proper pot and pour full-fat yogurt and sugar into it. Mix the ingredients well then put the pot on low heat and stir continuously until the yogurt bubbles and is close to boiling.

After the yogurt is boiled, add the meat to the pot and continue stirring until it gets smooth. Once the meat is mixed well with other ingredients, add walnut, sliced almond, brewed saffron, rose water, and some salt.

Stir for a few more minutes until they are consolidated and then remove from the heat and drag them into the dish you want to serve in. Decorate your Khoresh with pistachio and barberry and put it in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours and then serve it.

Another interesting point about our Khoresh is that it is served cold, unlike other famous Iranian dishes.
