Amoo's | Persian Lamb Shank Stew | Signature Dish

Seth heads to Amoo's Restaurant, a Persian restaurant in McLean, Virginia, where Chef Sebastian Oveysi demonstrates how to cook a traditional braised lamb shank. Starting with sautéed garlic and onion, Chef Oveysi explains how they incorporate the flavors of Northwest Iran, including tomato paste and cinnamon, into a delicious Kurdish-style broth which flavors the tender bone-in lamb over many hours. Served alongside rice, salad, and tahdig rice, both staples of Persian food, this Persian stew shows why Amoo's Restaurant is a standout restaurant in Northern Virginia.
