Chelo-Kabab (Kebab)~

Chelow kabab or Chelo kabab is the national dish of Iran. The meal is simple, consisting of steamed saffroned basmati. These kebabs are made with different types of meat. In this chelo kebab recipe, ground beef or lamb can be used. Served on skewers over a bed of rice this recipe is basic, yet full of flavor. The rice is what everyone went crazy for in this dish.
