Nooshe joon! 

Don't keep going there too often though unless you put a lot of somagh on your kabob. (cholesterol alert)   :o)

IRANdokht

I don't know about you guys

but after reading and writing and thinking about this blog all day yesterday I was craving kabab like a pregnant woman would crave for ice cream and torshi. After work I went to Lavash restaurant and had a wonderful barg. jaye hamatoono khali kardam. It was so nice that I may go there again tonight.

BTW ID

I did make my Kabab-related comment at the start of this blog. Did you bother to notice?

Irandokht

Why do you have a problem with me wanting to bring up Israel?

I don't suppose that i really owe you explanation as to why i do this??? do i?

Khejalatam midi khanoum, cheshmaat salaamat!

I may just take you up on that offer ;-) it doesn't seem like any of these guys are going to share their food anyway  LOL

Next time I am in the neighborhood I will definitely get in touch for the conversation we missed last time, good food will be the cherry on the top :o)

(You're right, I'll skip through them from now on too!)

Thanks for your info on jigar sefid! I can't promise you very good but good I can make my Persian food when you come up here. ghadamet rooye cheshm.

(just ignore the non-kabab related comments, hopefully they'd go away) 

Kourosh, many of us Esfahanis are proud of our Jewish heritage

KouroshS, if you study history, you'll find out we Esfahanis have a strong Jewish heritage ..... it is reflected in our way of life, food, our accent, and everything else. I wouldn't be surprized if it turns out that Esfahani Berioni was invented by a Jewish Esfahani.

WHY?

KouroshS 

Why do you keep bringing up Israel?

This is a tribute to Kabob and now also Beryuni and I am waiting to see who's going to invite me for some good home made food. Please do not change the subject.

IRANdokht

kharmagas litmus.

esfahani berioni turns people into a jew and zionist haters and you know i don't like that. Takes The Logic out of your world, if you will:) 

I wil stick to my gheyme and Lobia polo and "simplicity". It helps me avoid being delusional and keeping it real . you should try that too. A lot of help will come your way too.

Ebi and IRANdokht passed the Litmus test, KouroshS didn't!

Ali P, I agree .... they both know about Esfahani Berioni ..., as far as I am concerned they passed the litmus test: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litmus_test_(politics)

KouroshS failed the Litmus test, he only knows how to make Khorshe Gheimeh, and GhazAie Lobia!

Faramarz is right.  The key

Faramarz is right.  The key to good koobideh is the fat in meat ratio.  In order to looleh it well on the seekh the goosht has to be charb.  I always add somagh to it too.  Don't forget your raw egg folks. Remember how the half egg yolks came in a bowl of ard at your favorite kabobi before the restaurants put the kibosh on it.  Oh shit there goes my Israeli reference.

Barg doesn't have a recipe really

For barg the most important thing is the "cut" of beef (in Iran it was called rasteh) and subsequent triple butterflying of the rasteh and tenderizing with back side of the knife.

Other than salt and pepper, there is no need for marination or anything else.  

In LA county area, THE best barg is at Rafi's place in Glendale.  Second best is Javan in Santa Monica.  The rest are pretty much all the same.

jigar sefid

Monda jan

Jigar sefid is another name for the lungs of the sheep. That's the cheapest piece you can buy.

one of the Beryiani recipes asks for gigar sefid - is that donbalaan?

irandokht jan

that was the best one i've seen, even though as you mention it is a little confusing since you have to use your slide ruler to calculate how cut the meat in proper proportions. Thank you very much.

There is an Israeli/zionist Site that has some great recepies on iranian dishes... Non-Zionists and Freedom lovers are always welcome:)

As you can imagine, I religiously visit that site. Would you like me to give you the link?

P.S. AIPAC has got some good ones too. check it out!
