contacted by fire and is ready to eat in a short time (usually 7 to 8 minutes)� Note that the meat must not be fresh and it should be kept in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 days after it has been slaughtered and then placed it in the desired sauce for 12 hours� The method of making Koobideh Kabab (Minced meat Kabab) Kabab koobideh is one of the traditional Persian foods� The meat of Kabab Koobideh is usually made from flank with other greasy cuts or a mixture of beef and sheep flank. Grind 8 the meat 2 to 3 times to make Kabab Koobideh after choos- ing meat� After that, grate the onion, take its water, then mix the meat, onion, and salt, and then stir it until the meat is completely adhesive� Then, put the meat into the skewers� So, pour some cold water in a bowl, moisten your hand by it, take some of the meat in the same size as a medium-sized tangerine, shape it in your fist, then place the flat blade of the skewer in your fist and place on the length of the meat and put the meat into the skewer with your fingers, squeeze a little the meat to stick to the skewer and place your fingers on the meat). Putting the meat into the skewer requires prac- tice and experience� The method of preparing Kabab barg (Filet mag- non kabab) This kabab can be made from fillets of lamb or calve. In such a way that you should clean the fillet, then divide it from length to a few 10 centimeters, put each part on the board and cut it with a long jump in the form of several sheets with a width of about one centimeter. Put a piece of fillets on the 9 board and squeeze onto the meat with behind a heavy knife with a masher (squeeze slow so that not crush the meat), then grate the onion, take its water� Mix grated onion, olive oil, yogurt (if desired) and saffron� Put meat for 12 hours in this pad and then put it into the skewers� Note that add the salt to the meat before grilling, and then stir until meat is tasted� The method of preparing the Chenjeh or Shishlik (Grilled beef Kabab) Chenjeh Kabab is made from fillets of sheep or calves. The method of making it and putting it is like Kabab barg, with the difference that you have to cut the meat from the width in order to make Chenjeh� The width of the cuts depends on your choice, but the ideal size is 2 cm� Between every 2 or 3 Chenjeh, place a piece of the fat tail (smaller than the Chenjeh)� 10 Kabab Koobideh Ingredients: 99Medium sized onion ��������������������������������������������������������� 2 (280g) 99Sheep flank (cleaned) ��������������������������������������������������������������200g 99Calve tight ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������400g 99Salt

  • Iranian and Turkish Food Cultures: a Comparison Through the Qualitative Research Method in Terms of Preparation, Distribution and Consumption
    IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol. I, Issue 3, December 2015 IRANIAN AND TURKISH FOOD CULTURES: A COMPARISON THROUGH THE QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHOD IN TERMS OF PREPARATION, DISTRIBUTION AND CONSUMPTION Gamze Gizem Avcıoğlu1 and Gürcan Şevket Avcıoğlu2 1 Res. Asst., Selçuk University, Turkey, [email protected] 2 Dr., Selçuk University, Turkey, [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this study is to make a comparative sociological analysis of Iranian and Turkish food cultures in terms of food preparation, distribution and consumption. Moreover, contribution is intended to be made to the field of applied food sociology. The research design carries features of a qualitative research. Of the qualitative research techniques, observation and interview form were used in the study. Research findings were obtained through observations made in Tehran, the capital city of Iran, and data were compiled by making interviews with people selected using the snowball sampling method. According to the results of observations and interviews, food habits in Iran tend to preserve their traditional characteristics. There are similarities rather than differences between Iran and Turkey in terms of eating habits and ways of eating. On the other hand, food culture is highly influenced by the food industry. Industrial food production, branding, packaging and wrapping are at an advanced level. Both Iran and Turkey are undergoing changes in terms of food as in other areas and coming under the influence of modernization. Food production, distribution and consumption systems or eating habits exhibit global trends. Although eating habits display global characteristics, they are always and in all communities based on local roots; in other words, the food culture is never separated from its cultural bonds.

  • 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.
