Dizi is a popular highlight of Persian cuisine. It’s unique, delicious, and fun to eat. They say the best dizi is in Tehran area but I was eating it every city I went to. It has been my favorite Iranian food. Today I’d like to introduce this interesting dish to you. Hopefully you can find it in one of those Iranian restaurants in your city and maybe give it a try one day.
Dizi is traditionally cooked in a stone pot or a metal pot, it is usually made with lamb, chickpeas, white beans, onion, potatoes, and tomatoes, turmeric, and dried lime nowadays. However back hundreds of years ago, it was only made of lamb and chickpeas, plus herbs, without any other vegetables. The most interesting part was how you eat it.
