Iranian Cuisine
Iranian cuisine () refers to the culinary practices of Iran. Due to the historically common usage of the term " Persia" to refer to Iran in the Western world,Yarshater, EhsaPersia or Iran, Persian or Farsi, ''Iranian Studies'', vol. XXII no. 1 (1989) it is alternatively known as Persian cuisine, despite Persians being only one of a multitude of Iranian ethnic groups who have contributed to Iran's culinary traditions. The cuisine of Iran has made extensive contact throughout its history with the cuisines of its neighbouring regions, including Caucasian cuisine, Central Asian cuisine, Greek cuisine, Levantine cuisine, Mesopotamian cuisine, Russian cuisine and Turkish cuisine. Aspects of Iranian cuisine have also been significantly adopted by Indian cuisine and Pakistani cuisine through various historical Persianate sultanates that flourished during Muslim rule on the Indian subcontinent, with the most notable and impactful of these polities being the Mughal Empire. ...

Bozbash
Bozbash ( az, bozbaş; fa, آبگوشت بزباش; Tat: ''guşto buzbaş'') is an Iranian dish consisting of meat stew (also described as a soup) popular in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran. History and etymology Bozbash is a word of Azeri Turkish origin. It may be derived from Azeri Turkish ''boz'' ("light gray") and ''bash'' ("head"), which in turn may point to the light color of the dish when its cooked. However, Mohammad R. Ghanoonparvar notes that "no scientific etymology" has been offered to this effect by Gerhard Doerfer. Bozbash is the Azeri Turkish name of the Iranian dish '' abgoosht-e sabzi''. Ghanoonparvar notes that bozbash was introduced "relatively late" into Iranian cuisine; Mirza Ali-Akbar Khan, the chef of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (1848–1896), was reportedly the first to mention it. He classified it as part of a group of meat stews and soups, often eaten cold. Ingredients and preparation Ghanoonparvar notes in relation to bozbash: In Armenian cuisine, ...

Piti (food)
Piti is a national dish of Azerbaijan from the Shaki region, its bordering nations, and Central Asia, and is prepared in the oven in clay pots (called ''piti'' in Turkic languages). It is made with mutton, onions, potatoes and chickpeas and infused with saffron water to add flavour and colour, all covered by a lump of fat (Goyruk), and cooked in a sealed claypot. Piti is served in the pot, usually accompanied by an additional plate for "disassembling" the meat and the liquid part with vegetables, which may be eaten separately as the first (soup with vegs) and second (meat) courses of a meal. Tasty, flavourful and nourishing piti is traditionally cooked in earthenware pots called chanag, kyupe or dopu. There are so many variations from the Balkans, Moldova, Georgia and Mediterranean countries that the name is more an idea of a recipe, rather than a named stew or soup. The etymology of the name is derived from the Turkic word bitdi, meaning the end of need to eat any more food. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Lamb Dishes
This is a list of lamb and mutton dishes and foods. Lamb and mutton are terms for the meat of domestic sheep (species '' Ovis aries'') at different ages. A sheep in its first year is called a lamb, and its meat is also called lamb. The meat of a juvenile sheep older than one year is hogget; outside North America this is also a term for the living animal.

Lamb and mutton are very popular in Central Asia and in India, where other red meats may be eschewed for religious or economic reasons. It is also very popular in Australia. Barbecued mutton is also a specialty in some areas of the United States (chiefly Owensboro, Kentucky) and Canada.

Armenian Cuisine
Armenian cuisine includes the foods and cooking techniques of the Armenian people and traditional Armenian foods and dishes. The cuisine reflects the history and geography where Armenians have lived as well as sharing outside influences from European and Levantine cuisines.
