Shafrazi, also known as Shahrazi, is a term derived from the Persian language and culture. It refers to a traditional and savory dish often found in Iranian cuisine. Shafrazi typically consists of succulent and tender slices of meat, most commonly lamb or beef, that are marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and herbs.
The meat is typically marinated in a mixture including ingredients such as garlic, onion, yogurt, paprika, turmeric, saffron, and various other spices for several hours to infuse it with flavor. Once adequately marinated, the meat is then grilled or roasted to perfection, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic dish that is enjoyed by many.
Shafrazi is often served as a main course alongside rice or fluffy bread, accompanied by delicious side dishes such as grilled vegetables, pickles, or yogurt-based sauces. The tender meat, enhanced by the aromatic spices and herbs, creates a delightful combination of flavors that tantalizes the taste buds.
Because of the Persian origins of this dish, shafrazi is most commonly found in Iranian restaurants or households where the cuisine is celebrated. It has gained popularity in many countries around the world due to its distinct taste and cultural significance within Iranian culinary traditions.
