The history of Persian cooking goes back to the sixth
century B.C., when Cyrus the Great, the leader of a tribe
called the Pars (Persians), created an empire that
eventually stretched from India to Egypt and parts of
Greece.
From the 11th to 15th centuries A.D., Persian culture
flourished despite Turkish and Mongol rule. This era saw a
flowering of native poetry and art, and its rarified
cooking, with rich sauces and pilafs strewn with nuts and
dried fruit, became the foundation of the Moghul cuisine of
northern India. Contemporary Persian cooking wears its
heritage on its sleeve. Rice has a place of honor, prepared
with a prized, golden crust formed from clarified butter,
saffron, and yogurt. Lamb and chicken are marinated and
grilled as kebabs, or mixed into stews called khoreshes with
fruit and sour ingredients such as lime juice. Cinnamon,
cardamom, and other spices are used in great abundance,
along with a multitude of fresh herbs and pickles Wonderful
flatbreads are served, as well, at every meal.
