Persian, or Iranian, food offers a variety of unique aromas and flavors. Here are a few Persian dishes to try:

- Baghali polo. This rice-based dish has many variations that may include vegetables, herbs, nuts, meat, dried fruit, and noodles. A common dish in the spring, baghali polo contains fava beans and dill and may even incorporate pieces of lamb.
- Maast-o khiar. A staple in Persian cuisine, this cucumber yogurt goes well with bread, but it also can be served with meat or rice. Additional ingredients may include raisins, spinach, and herbs such as tarragon and mint.
