Iranian Chelo Kabob is a popular dish in the Middle East and is often served with grilled tomatoes, onions, and rice. The dish is made by mixing ground lamb or hamburger with onions, garlic, and a range of spices, and then shaping it onto a skewer. The kebab is then grilled on an open flame, which gives it a charred and smoky flavor. The dish is typically served with steamed rice and grilled vegetables, making it a well-balanced meal that is both nutritious and satisfying.
