Loobia Polo (lubia polo) Ba Havij is a delicious mixed Persian rice. Green bean is loobia in Farsi and Carrot is havij. This is an all time favorite rice dish of mine. The stew is very flavorful with tender pieces of beef, fresh green beans, shredded carrots and aromatic spices cooked in a very light sauce. Traditionally this stew is served between layers of Aromatic Persian Rice.
With some extra stew on the side.
I was so happy to find these shredded carrots in the store, they save a lot of time
Cubed beef is sauteed with butter, diced onions, ground black pepper and turmeric
Until browned and the natural juices are thickened
Then it is cooked in some water until very tender.
Meanwhile fry the diced onions until golden brown
And steam the sliced green beans in very little water until tender
Quickly saute the green beans, carrots, fried onions, butter, and tomato paste over high heat for a bit
Add the cooked beef, broth, lemon juice, seasoning and water and simmer
Until all the ingredients are tender and the sauce is reduced and thickened. Serve it layered with cooked rice. Traditionally this stew is served with Persian Aromatic Rice.
To make the Persian Aromatic Rice with Lavash Tah Dig, follow the complete instructions on my How-To page for Persian Steamed Rice up to the point where you drain and rinse the par boiled rice in a fine mesh strainer. Then proceed with the instructions for making the Tah Dig. I have made the Lavash Tah Dig but you may choose to make the Yogurt Tah Dig if you like. Add a single layer of Lavash or flour tortilla to the bottom of the pan.
Add 1/3 of the par boiled rice to the pot and cover the bread pieces. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp Persian Rice Spice.
Repeat two more times with rice and spices, sprinkle a pinch of optional ground saffron powder on top. Cover the pot with kitchen towel or Damkesh and steam until fluffy and tender with a golden Tah Dig in the bottom.
To serve Loobia Polo ba Havij, add some of the steamed rice to the serving platter. Use a slotted spoon to top the rice with some of the khoresh (leave most of the sauce in the pot). Repeat with one more layer of rice and khoresh. Serve the extra khoresh and sauce on the side so everyone can help themselves for more if they like. Enjoy this aromatic Loobia Polo Ba Havij with salad or sabzi khordan.
Glad to hear that Ruth; this is an old family recipe and everyone in the family used to add their own special touch to it, so your syrian bread substitution is most appropriate ? Thanks for writing to me; have a great week dear friend!

Havij bastani is a delicious and unusual Iranian take on an ice cream float. This refreshing dessert combines fresh carrot juice and a scoop of ice cream, preferably vanilla-flavored or more traditional saffron-infused version. Often considered as both a beverage and a dessert, havij bastani can be sipped or eaten with a spoon. It is always served in a glass, and it is usually topped with crushed pistachios, as well as cardamom or cinnamon.
Between 4000 and 3000 BC, communities of Indo-Europeans migrated southward and eastward away from their original home, the southern Russian steppes of the Caucuses. As they developed their own traditions and unique cultural characteristics, this branch of Indo-European became the Proto-Indo-Iranians, and they are the earliest known lineage distinctly for the Iranian and Indian cultures.
Following the Islamic conquest of Iran, many of the original Zoroastrian connotations for the holiday have disappeared, but shab-e-yalda remains an important date in the Persian calendar. It is now a time for extended family and friends to gather together and to pass the night together with good company. Poetry from Hafez will be read, stories will be told, and of course there will be copious amounts of food!
After a few more minutes of stirring around, you should have a really smooth-looking paste of halva ready to go. All you need to do from there is spread it into your serving dish, garnish it, and then set it aside to let it cool. Once cooled, your halva ye havij should have hardened a bit into a bit of a thicker dessert, although it should very much still feel soft to the touch.When soft, cut a slice for yourself, and enjoy!
