Iran is home to one of the world’s earliest cuisines, with a rich history of beautiful dishes that have remained popular and vital for generations. You may have seen glimpses of the classics via family and friend gatherings on Shahs of Sunset, and spotted crispy tahdig rice or sexy fesenjan chicken or the ghormeh sabzi stew that cast member Asa Soltan Rahmati lovingly makes for her partner Jermaine Jackson Jr. And you might have wondered what all this scrumptiousness might be called, and what it's all about.
We tapped chef Hoss Zaré, who melds traditional Iranian flavors with ideas from the Mediterranean at his San Francisco restaurant The Fly Trap, to guide us to the best dishes from his Iranian homeland. Look for them on a menu or a family dinner table near you.
