🥗 What to Eat With Persian Beef Dishes
While these beef dishes are satisfying as they are, you can’t go wrong by adding a heaped plate of Persian saffron basmati rice, or go the extra mile and turn it into tahdig. I also love to serve these with a fresh vegetable side too like a classic Shirazi salad. Finally, a cool glass of sharbat is ideal to quench your thirst during your meal.
I am missing the Chello Cobab that I adored when I was in Theran.
