Many times Abgoosht is referred to as Dizi, but this has to do with the dish it is cooked in. For many of us we use pots, slow cookers, or even pressure cookers for convenience and the amount of time we have. The traditional recipe for Abgoosht is what I am sharing with you here.

| Lamb meat ba ostokhan (with bones), or other meat as long as it has bones. | |
| 3-4 potatoes (depending on size of potatoes) | |
| 1 medium onion | |
| Salt/Pepper | |
| Turmeric | |
| 1 cup Nokhod (garbanzo beans) | |
| 1 cup lobiya sefid (white beans) | |
| 1-2 Limoo Amani (dried limes) | |
| 1 Tablespoon tomato paste | |
| Lemon Juice (optional) | |
| Cinnamon |
Directions
1.
These directions are specific to a pressure cooker, but may be modified for a regular pot or slow cooker.
Place the meat, onion, white beans, garbanzo beans, and dried lime(s) in the pressure cooker. Pour in water to cover everything, you may just want to pour in the water used to soak the beans and maybe some more if its not enough. Cover the pot and place it on med. heat. Once it steams you can release some of the steam, but allow it to stay on the stove for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes you will open the pressure cooker (steam will need to be released first if not done so completely). Add the washed potatoes (do not peel the skin off yet), tomato paste, and a little bit of cinnamon. At this time if you feel it is necessary you can add some lemon juice.
Cover the pressure cooker again and allow everything to cook for another 15 minutes on med. heat (it should steam up). Once it has steamed up, let the steam out and open up the pressure cooker.
When ready to serve you will pour the water into a separate bowl and then prepare the meat to be mashed up.
Preparing the Mashed meat (goosht koobideh):
You will peel the skin off the potatoes, clean the meat off the bones, and take out the dried limes. Mash the meat, potatoes (maybe not all the potatoes), and beans all together. Then you can pour some of the water on it is you desire. It is ready to eat with bread.
Preparing the tilit (water/bread):
You will want to tear up pieces of pita or barbari bread (or a combination) and pour the water over the bread. The bread pieces become soaked and this part of Abgoosht is called Tilit.
Note: The maghz (center) of the bones is really good. When I was young my siblings and I used to fight over who gets to eat it…in fact we still do. So if you want to extract it after you are separating everything, beat the contents of the bone out.
