Introducing Barbecue
Chanje kebab is one of the most popular among traditional Iranian kebabs. Chenje kebab is prepared with both lamb and veal. Choosing between beef and mutton to prepare Chanjeh kebab is a matter of taste and is mostly related to the culture and climate of the region. For example, in the northern regions of Iran (Gilan and Mazandaran), where animal husbandry is mostly based on cattle breeding, people's taste is more accustomed to beef, and Chenje kebabs in these provinces are mostly prepared with beef. But on the other hand, in the western provinces of the country, where animal husbandry is based on the breeding of small animals such as sheep, Chenje kebab is mostly cooked with sheep meat.
Anyway, Chenje kebab is one of the most popular dishes among Iranian households. It is common among Iranians to cook Chanjeh kebab in parties and ceremonies such as 13th of Badr, etc. In order to make a professional barbecue, you need the necessary skills related to choosing the right meat, how to season it, grilling properly, etc.
What meat is suitable for Iranian barbecue?
The best meat, which is special for cooking Chanjeh kebab, is sheep fillet. Lamb fillet is one of the tastiest, tenderest and most crispy parts of lamb meat. The sheep fillet is related to the back part of the sheep's loin. The soft meat of this part of the sheep's carcass is related to the psoas major muscle, or "fillet" in popular language, which does not play a significant role in the movement of the animal and is used less, so the texture of the meat remains soft. This part is considered the most suitable meat for cooking Chanjeh kebab. In addition to chenje, fillets are also used to cook leaf kebabs and steaks. Therefore, by buying live sheep, you can prepare a unique barbecue. By comparing the price of live sheep and the meat available in butchers, you can easily decide whether to buy the right meat from a butcher or buy live sheep. also cooked Calf fillet, like lamb fillet, is softer and more tender than the meat of other parts of the cow's body. Preparation of Chenje kebab from beef will also be very delicious if cooked properly.
