Persian Kabab with Rice

Cultural Context

Originating from Persia, kababs have been a staple of Iranian cuisine for centuries, often enjoyed during family gatherings and celebrations. Traditionally, they are served with fragrant rice, which complements the smoky flavors of the grilled meat. Today, kababs are loved worldwide, with various regional adaptations, yet they remain a symbol of hospitality in Iranian culture.
