Iranian people enjoy eating and cooking but they love parties and
gatherings more! In their parties, they usually serve traditional cuisines of
Iran like different kinds of stews and Iranian kebabs. Kebab is an old Iranian
cuisine and is a good choice for gatherings and camping days of the weekends
because preparing the Kebab is done by two or three people and it gathers the
friends. As a custom in Iran, preparing the kebab is the men’s job so it is
usually done by the men. The meat for Iranian kebab should be fresh and healthy
and it is usually marinated in spices, onion, yogurt or different sauces some hours
earlier.
Grilling the kebab is the fun part. Friends gather around the broiler, while the meat is getting done and it spreads an appetizing smell in the whole area.
Persian kebab is served with saffron steamed rice or Lavash bread. Sumac,
Salad Shirazi (chopped tomato and cucumber with mint and verjuice), raw onion
and basil are the inseparable mates of Iranian Kebab.
