Ruz bil kebab

Ruz bil kebab is a traditional Persian rice dish layered with seasoned, cooked minced meat, typically lamb or beef. The dish combines fluffy, fragrant basmati rice with a savory meat topping, often flavored with spices, herbs, and sometimes raisins or almonds for added texture and sweetness. It is usually cooked together so that the flavors meld, resulting in a hearty, aromatic meal. Ruz bil kebab is enjoyed as a main course in Persian cuisine, celebrated for its rich taste and balanced combination of tender meat and perfectly steamed rice.
