Persian Kotlet
Pane-Bistecca
As I mentioned earlier, I had an Iranian brother-in-law. Persian cutlets are a dish he brought back from Persia and was the first to introduce to us. My sister cooks them often because they’re very popular! This is her recipe, which I recreated.
Kotlet-e Goosht is golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and is one of the dishes Iranians grew up with. Every family has its own recipe.
If you’ve always wanted to try classic Iranian home cooking, this is the perfect place to start. Forget dry or crumbly meatballs—here you’ll learn how to make them golden brown and perfect every time. This easy-to-follow recipe will quickly become your family’s favorite dish.

Notes
Marisa: In Iran, it’s usually served alongside several other dishes, or eaten cold with flatbread when traveling. My mother-in-law, Ashraf, always served peas with it in addition to rice.More Persian Dishes.
