Persian Kebabs

Charcoal grilling gives Persian kebabs their characteristic smoky aroma and lightly charred edges. Koobideh is made with seasoned ground meat shaped onto wide skewers, while jujeh kebab features chicken marinated with saffron, lemon, and yogurt or onion. Barg, traditionally prepared from thin cuts of beef or lamb, offers another elegant option, commonly served with grilled tomatoes, rice, and fresh herbs.
