Persian cuisine (Iranian food) is one of the world's oldest culinary traditions, known for aromatic rice dishes (chelow), slow-braised stews (khoresh), grilled kabobs, and the use of saffron, pomegranate, dried limes, and fresh herbs.
Popular Persian dishes include koobideh kabob (ground beef skewer), ghormeh sabzi (herb stew with lamb), fesenjan (pomegranate walnut stew), chelow kabob (rice and kabob), and tahdig (crispy rice crust).
Persian food is generally not spicy-hot. It's aromatic and flavorful, relying on saffron, turmeric, dried fruits, herbs, and slow cooking for depth of flavor rather than chili heat. It's an excellent choice for people who prefer savory, complex flavors without spice.
