Frequently Asked Questions

What dishes use dried fenugreek?

Fenugreek is a key herb in ghormeh sabzi, Persia’s most beloved herb stew, and is also used in some Persian pickles and herb blends for its distinctive aromatic bitterness.

Do I need to rehydrate dried fenugreek before cooking?

Yes — rinse and soak the dried herb briefly, or sauté it directly in oil with your other herbs until fragrant before adding to your stew.

How much fenugreek should I use in a stew?

A small amount goes a long way — fenugreek has a strong flavor, so start with a spoonful and adjust to taste, as too much can turn bitter.
