Kabab Torsh (Sour Kabab) is one of the most popular types of kabab in Iran that you should try once.

Kabab Torsh is a type of kabab cooked in the northern regions of the country, especially in Gilan province.

In short, in this type of kabab, there are veal pieces marinated with chopped onions, sour pomegranate juice, some sour pomegranate paste, walnut meal, and Gilan local aromatic herbs (sea holly and parsley), black pepper and salt. After the veal is flavored, they grill it on charcoal with medium heat. It must be said that the main secret of the flavor of this different kabab is having fragrant northern local herbs.

In the past, to prepare Kabab Torsh, they put walnuts into a large clay pot called “Namkar” or “Namiar” and grind them with a stone called “Meshta” until the walnut oil comes out. Walnuts and walnut oil make the kabab so appetizing. Nowadays, walnuts are mostly grounded and instead of walnut oil, a small amount of olive oil is used.

Kabab Torsh can be cooked on grill or in a pot as well;

To do this, you should lower the heat and put the mixture in oil and water to cook the veal.

Since this dish is served with rice, it has high energy and provides a large amount of daily calorie.

For this dish, some people use two spoons of grinded sour pomegranate or a cup of sour pomegranate juice instead of pomegranate paste.

Also, those who don’t like their grilled meat to be tough, add salt at the end of cooking, when the veal is cooked a little bit.

In order to have a softer veal at the end, when the meat is skewered, beat it once with the back of a knife. This will make the meat have better texture and becomes set, and also makes the grilling easier.
