The story behind the dish

Soltani combines the two great kebab traditions — minced and fillet — and is the most generous plate a Persian grill house offers.

Cooking mode

  1. 1Prepare the koobideh mixture: knead mince with squeezed onion, salt and pepper; rest 1 hour.
  2. 2Marinate the flattened fillet in onion, oil and saffron.
  3. 3Shape koobideh onto wide skewers; thread the barg zigzag.
  4. 4Grill barg first over fierce heat, then koobideh.
  5. 5Serve both on saffron rice with grilled tomato and sumac.

Tips & troubleshooting

  • ✦Cook barg and koobideh on separate zones of the grill — barg needs fiercer heat.
