One of the Persian favorites is kabab or some call it kebab. Kabab literally means "roasted" or grilled. The procedure is easy to describe but difficult to make. I tried many times to make this kabab but all tries resulted to mess. The basic ingredients are grounded meat, grated onions and Persian spices. All ingredients are blended and put on a skewer. Then, it's grilling time. The most difficult part is the grilling. All will end up falling into the embers if you're not good at it.
