The exotic dishes that represent Iran are also quite simple to make. There are many healthy dishes made of herbs and vegetables, mixed in a blend that is seasoned and tasteful. Meat is often combined with rice, a fact that has been true throughout Persian history. garlic, onion, vegetables, nuts, and herbs are among the most common ingredients you will find in Persian delicacies. Exotic and traditional spices, such as saffron, dried limes, cinnamon, and parsley are also masterfully used by Iranian chefs to surround their dishes with a delicious magic aura.
