Kebabs or Kababs
کباب ها
These photos were taken by myself (Hanif).
Chelo Kebab (Rice with Kabab) is the main Iranian meal that is served in Persian restaurants. Iranians make Kebabs in a variety of different styles and tastes, which can hardly be seen in any other cuisine. From soft Kebabs, such as Koobideh (minced meat Kebab), to kind of pure meat kebabs, such as Chenjeh (Lamb Chop Kebab) can be found in colorful Persian cuisine. Beside meat, the main common ingredient of most of these Kebabs is onion and these Kebabs always are combined with BBQ tomatoes. It should be mentioned that some of these Kebabs are shared with some other middle eastern cuisines such as Turkish cuisine or central Asian or Greek cuisines.
