Persian Herb & Vegetable Dishes

Fresh herbs are essential to Persian food, appearing in everything from cooked vegetable dishes to raw herb platters known as sabzi khordan. Kuku sabzi turns parsley, coriander, dill, and other greens into a fragrant herb frittata, while borani combines vegetables such as spinach or eggplant with yogurt. These dishes add color, freshness, and variety to a Persian meal.
