How to make Koobideh Kebab

Why cooks start here

Koobideh Kebab is cooked the way Persian grill restaurants 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.

Koobideh Kebab is a beloved staple in Persian grill restaurants, where the balance of salt and fat is honed to perfection by skilled cooks. This version brings that expertise to the home kitchen, crafted with the same generous hand for seasoning. It's a dish that finds its place on tables set for sharing, embodying the tradition of communal dining without ceremony. Each bite of Koobideh Kebab offers a savory blend of ground lamb and beef, seasoned with aromatic turmeric and tangy sumac. The kebab is tender, juicy, and perfectly complemented by the subtle sweetness of grilled tomatoes, all wrapped in warm, soft flatbread. It’s a simple yet satisfying experience that captures the essence of Persian flavors.
