Why cooks start here

Kebab Barg Marinade is cooked the way kebab houses cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a persian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Kebab Barg Marinade reflects the cherished customs of Persian family cooking, where the art of seasoning is learned through intuition and practice rather than precise measurement. In the bustling kebab houses, this marinade is a staple, known for its generous use of fat and its ability to transform simple cuts of meat into a shared culinary experience. This home adaptation captures the essence of that tradition, bringing the flavors of the kebab house to your own table. Expect a symphony of deep, earthy flavors with each bite. The saffron imparts a subtle floral note, while the sumac adds a hint of tartness that balances the richness. The onion powder melds with the fine sea salt and black pepper, creating a marinade that is both aromatic and robust. Perfect for those who appreciate the harmonious blend of spices that define Persian cuisine, this marinade promises to elevate your kebab experience.
