Not-Quite-Persian Ghormeh Sabzi (Green Stew) for the Slow Cooker Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Beef Recipes. (Not-Quite-Persian Ghormeh Sabzi (Green Stew) for the Slow Cooker Recipe). This is Persian green stew. I titled this 'Not Quite Ghormeh Sabzi' because I'm not quite Persian, but I grew up with a Persian step-father who would cook the most awesome Ghormeh Sabzi. My understanding is that Ghormeh Sabzi literally means 'green stew' in Farsi but since many of my Persian friends have taken delight in teaching me to say the wrong thing, don't take my word for it. Every Persian I know makes this slightly differently, so the version here is a mix of several recipes, based largely on what I could get at any major grocery store. It's not traditional, but it's so good. Serve over white rice.
