    Omid Roustaei | www.thecaspianchef.com | www.instagram.com/thecaspianchef About Persian Cuisine Persian cuisine is one of the world’s great gastronomies, flourishing for centuries across an area that, at the height of the ancient Persian Empire (circa 550 to 330 B.C.), included modern-day Iran, along with parts of Iraq, Macedonia, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. The repertoire of dishes is fragrant, diverse, and highly refined, based on complex culinary techniques. They are imbued with fresh flowers and herbs like rose petals, fenugreek, and mint; spices like saffron, sumac, and cardamom; fruits like pomegranate and barberry; all kinds of citrus; and nuts, including pistachios and almonds. If this roster of ingredients sounds familiar, it’s because Persian cooking has influenced Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Northern Indian, and Turkish cuisines yet itself remains somewhat below the radar. Typical Iranian main dishes are combinations of rice with meat (such as lamb, chicken, or fish), vegetables, and nuts. Fresh green herbs are frequently used, along with fruits such as plums, pomegranates, quinces, prunes, apricots, and raisins. Characteristic Iranian flavorings such as saffron, dried limes, cinnamon, turmeric, and fresh herbs are mixed and used in various dishes. The agriculture of Iran produces many fruits and vegetables. Thus, a bowl of fresh fruit is common on Iranian tables, and vegetables are standard sides to most meals. These are not only enjoyed fresh and ripe as desserts but are also combined with meat and form accompaniments to main dishes. When fresh fruits are not available, a large variety of dried fruits such as dates, figs, apricots, and peaches are used instead.

  • Salads, Vegetables, and Desserts
    Salads, Vegetables, and Desserts Tips for Preparing Vegetables Canned Veggies: • Drain off liquid, unless going in a stew or soup. Season with small amount of chicken, beef or ham base or bouillon. • Season with onions sautéed in fat-free Italian dressing in iron skillet, and add veggies. • Use small amount of brown sugar or orange or pineapple juice in carrots. • Season with salsa, mushrooms or wine. Frozen Veggies: • Steam with low sodium Greek or Cajun seasoning. • Sauté Brussels sprouts in iron skillet with small amount of low sodium liquid seasoning (for example Dale’s seasoning) or low salt seasoning and small amount water. • Keep small amount of broccoli or cauliflower thawed and add to salad. Also works well with English peas. • Toss most frozen veggies into any casserole, stew or soup. • Cook spinach, drain, add small amount of low sodium liquid seasoning, low-fat Velveeta-type of cheese and bread crumbs. Fresh Veggies: • Cook many veggies on the grill outside or use an indoor grill. You can grill several different types of vegetables such as onions, peppers, sweet potatoes, eggplants, yellow and zucchini squash, halved Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli or carrots. If making kabobs for the grill, some firmer vegetables, such as carrots and Brussels sprouts, may need to be precooked slightly softer texture. • Steam in microwave with few drops of water and use low sodium seasoning. Cover well to cook. Make extra to use in salads later. • Broil tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage quarters, onion, peppers and squash in oven with fat-free Italian dressing. Cut through thickest part of the vegetable so all will be ready at same time.

  • Iran's Traditional Foods
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ZENODO Iran’s Traditional Foods: A Heritage Worth Renewing By Soroush Niknamian ention Persia (modern-day Iran) in everyday con- versation, and you will likely evoke immediate Mimages of Persia’s rich cultural heritage—ornate woven carpets or the elegant poetry of Rumi, for example. However, Iran also deserves to be known and celebrated for its rich and varied traditional cuisine. In the past, traditionally prepared items that featured raw milk and bone broth were commonplace in the animal-fat-rich Iranian diet. These included Lighvan, a semihard cheese made from raw sheep’s milk (or a combination of raw sheep’s and goat’s milk), and Ab-goosht, a peas- ant stew that translates literally as “meat water” because it relies on the core ingredients of lamb shanks and neck bones to create a broth abundant in minerals, gelatin and collagen. Nowadays, unfortunately, the Iranian diet is much more likely to highlight cheap (in the short term) food industry standards such as vegetable oils, margarine, soy and sodas. Iran also has succumbed to Western fears about animal fats. As a result of this ongoing “nutrition transition,” diet-related chronic diseases are on the rise and are a leading cause of mortality.1 36 Wise Traditions WINTER 2016 From the 800s AD onward, Persia was inter- pomegranates, quince, apricots, prunes and Avicenna nationally admired for its scientific and cultural dates; and distinctive herbs, spices and flavoring leadership. The influential eleventh-century agents such as mint, parsley, saffron, cinnamon observed Persian philosopher and scientist Avicenna and rosewater.
