Persian Meat Dishes

Lamb and beef appear in many Persian specialties, from skewered grilled cuts to tender meat cooked slowly with fruit, herbs, and spices. Chelo goosht pairs rice with succulent meat, while abgoosht combines meat, chickpeas, potatoes, and other ingredients in a traditional broth-based dish. These recipes highlight the careful seasoning and unhurried cooking that characterize many Iranian meat meals.
