Abgoosht (Persian: آبگوشت Âbgušt, pronounced [ɒːbˈɡuːʃt]; literally "meat broth") is an Iranian stew. It is also called dizi (Persian: دیزی, pronounced [diːˈziː]), which refers to the traditional stoneware crocks it is served in. Some describe it as a "hearty mutton Persian soup thickened with chickpeas."
