Khoresh (Persian: ) is a generic term for stew dishes in Persian cuisine. The word is a substantive of the verb xordan (Persian: ) "to eat" and literally means "meal". The word is often misspelt Khoresht (Persian: خورشت) in writing, which is attributable to linguistic hypercorrection. An alternative, although rare spelling, is Khorisht.
It generally refers to different stews in the Iranian cuisine, and is typically served beside polo (rice). In Iranian cuisines there are many different Khoresh with many unique ingredients. Vegetarian Khoreshes are common. Iranian stews use liberal amounts of saffron to give a distinctive and fragrant taste. The most popular Khoreshes are Khoresh Gheymeh, Khoresh Ghormeh Sabzi and Khoresh Fesenjaan.
Salt, pepper, Advieh, and oil are also used in these dishes.
