Get some meat Find Shekamoo Grill on Instagram @shekamoogrill to figure out where that Persian kabob will pop up next. Koobideh that s pronounced coo-bee-deh is the best grilled ground meat you will ever eat. Sometimes it s just lamb, sometimes it s just beef, but traditionally, it s a combination of the two mixed with grated onion, sumac, salt, and pepper. If you ve never heard of it, don t feel bad. Koobideh is a Persian kabob (no, I didn t mean to write kebab ). Similar to so many other ethnic foods, Persian cuisine doesn t really have a big foothold in SLO County. I grew up eating the succulent kabob alongside platters of delicate white and yellow rice laced with saffron, butter, and salt or wrapped in flatbreads like lavash or sanghak so the juicy meat soaked into the bread.
