Joojeh Kabab
Joojeh kabab is boneless chicken marinated in saffron, yogurt, lemon juice, and grated onion, then skewered and grilled hot enough to char before the inside dries out.
Where it comes from
The yogurt and saffron marinade is a standard Persian grilling technique, using the yogurt's acidity to tenderize meat quickly over live coals in a cuisine where kabab has long been cooked and sold as street food.
What cooks argue about
Cooks disagree on marinade time: a few hours gives a mild tang, while overnight breaks the chicken down further but risks a mushy texture if the yogurt sits too long.
