See below ingredients and instructions of the recipe

Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 lg Onion; finely chopped 1/2 lb Spinach leaves
1/3 c Oil -- coarsely chopped
1 ts Turmeric 1/4 lb Fresh parsley; chopped
2 1/2 c Water 2 oz Fresh cilantro; chopped
1/4 c Lemon or lime juice 2 oz Tareh; chopped
Salt -OR chopped garlic chives
Freshly ground black pepper 1 c Brown lentils; rinsed
8 Green onions; chopped

A 'khoreshe' is a sauce-like main dish, to be served with rice.
'Tareh' resembles leeks, but much smaller, and with a garlic flavor.

In a heavy pan, brown the onion in oil over medium heat, stirring
frequently. Add turmeric and fry for another minute or so. Add
remaining ingredients, stir, and cover. Decrease heat to low and
let simmer until lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Adjust
seasonings if necessary and serve khoreshe with the best quality of
rice you can obtain; basmati is what I recommend. Wholemeal
flatbread is nice also, especially for dipping into the khoreshe.
