Dizi

2/18/2013

 
Dizi (dee-zee) is a traditional Persian food named after the ware it is served in. Dizi is a thin soup or ‘Abgousht’, that has been cooked for centuries in Iran and served most often in Tea Houses around the country but recently this traditional food is sold as a fast food by popular chain restaurants in big cities.

The long preparation of Dizi is done in special handmade terracotta, metal or stone ware and the recipes vary a lot depending on the individual or regional taste. Dizi consists of fat lamb meat (1 ½ pound), chickpeas + white beans (1cup), whole onions (2 boiled until soft and removed), potatoes (4-5 small cut in half), and tomatoes (3 added last), spiced up with garlic (1 clove), dried lime (some), tomato paste (2 Tbsp), turmeric, cinnamon, salt and pepper (as desired). The Dizi is let in the oven at low temperature.

Once Dizi is ready, the juice is drained and is served with rice or flat bread, while the rest is pounded and eaten along with bread and fresh herbs, pickles or chutney, or sandwiched when cold with white cheese and herbs or with salad leaves and fresh lemon or sour orange juice, etc.
