What you see here is #Beriuni. Not to be mistaken with Indian dish, Beriani. This Iranian Beriuni is the local dish from the incomparably beautiful Isfahan, in the heart of #Iran.
Beriuni is a dish you can only eat out, due to its long process of cooking. As the gentleman in the video explains in the sweetest Isfahani accent, first the entire lamb is cut into 8 large pieces which are boiled, and then deboned. The cooked meat is minced and cooked again with the fat from the lamb, and then formed into a patty, and grilled in a tiny pan. A little fatty mixture of lungs (and maybe other innards?) is on the side for those who want it. Everything is served on fresh Sangak bread, with more fatty broth, saffron infusion, almond, pistachios and barberries. The side delicacy is the broth, with chunks of bread, Kashk (fermented yoghurt), cinnamon, saffron & some dried fruit.
You might have seen @アンソニー・ボーディン eat this dish in his celebrated #PartsUnknown series. In his intense life, Bourdain inspired many souls through travel and food, but I will forever be thankful to him for restoring the humanity to the Iranians pictured on western media, specially somewhere like the @CNN.
This is not something to take for granted, ever, but specially now, that the drums of yet another war are beating, and no one seems to care that on the other side there are people who just want to live, work, get to the end of the day, and not die by the foreign bombs, after a mere 3 decades after the last war.
What Bourdain used to do was to never take for granted, because there are still other gifted and well known food writers who do travel to Iran, and their story is still as “colonial” as it would’ve been 50 years ago.
So happy birthday Tony! Here’s to the man who went beyond this. And to this people, and that war may be far, far from them. And that good things may come for them, too, finally. It’s been too long.
