Published in Iran - Social interactions and entertainment - 26 - 12 May 20 00:33

Hello dear guys.
Id like to introduce Iranian cuisine so that you know them and try them. If you search internet you can find to many sites about them.
Here at first Ill publish the pictures of Iranian foods and if welcomed I will introduce more.
Here is a brief about Iranian cuisine cited from Wikipedia.

Iranian cuisine comprises the cooking traditions of Iran. The term Persian cuisine is also used, even though the Persians are only one of the several ethnic groups that are native to Iran and have contributed to the culinary culture.

Irans culinary culture has historically interacted with the cuisines of the neighboring regions, including Caucasian cuisine, Turkish cuisine, Levantine cuisine, Greek cuisine, Central Asian cuisine, and Russian cuisine. Through the Persianized Central Asian Mughal dynasty, aspects of Iranian cuisine were also adopted into North Indian and Pakistani cuisines.

Typical Iranian main dishes are combinations of rice with meat, vegetables, and nuts. Herbs are frequently used, along with fruits such as plums, pomegranates, quince, prunes, apricots, and raisins. Characteristic Iranian flavorings such as saffron, dried lime and other sources of sour flavoring, cinnamon, turmeric, and parsley are mixed and used in various dishes.

Outside Iran, Iranian cuisine is especially found in multicultural places such as London, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Toronto, which have significant Iranian populations. Los Angeles and its environs, in particular, are home to many Iranian restaurants.

Kebab
In Iran, kebabs are served either with rice or with bread. A dish of chelow white rice with kebab is called chelow kabab, which is considered the national dish of Iran. The rice can also be prepared using the kateh method, and hence the dish would be called kateh kabab.

The following table lists several forms of kebab used in Iranian cuisine.

Kabab koobideh: Barbecued ground lamb or beef, mixed with parsley and onion:

What? Why no pork? Even if you are Zoroastrianist?

more than 92% of Iranians are muslims. You can not find pork in Iran. Maybe bootleggers have some.
