Traditional Persian Recipes
Persian recipes to cook at home: Ghormeh Sabzi, Zereshk Polo, Kabab Koobideh and seven more classics of Iranian cuisine, explained step by step.
Iranian cuisine looks back on thousands of years of tradition. Typical flavours include saffron, fresh herbs and dried limes. First, you need good ingredients. After that, above all, you need time: many stews simmer for hours until the flavours fully develop. All of these recipes come from the kitchen of Santoor in Vienna. Each dish serves four people. In addition, every recipe includes useful tips from our chefs.
