Kurdish food


Kurdish cuisine (Kurdish: چێشتی کوردیÇêştî Kurdî) consists of a wide variety of foods prepared by the Kurdish people. Due to cultural similarities of Kurds and their immediate neighbours in Iran, Turkey, Iraq and Syria, Kurdish food is typical of western Asian cuisine.

The Kurdish diet includes a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Lamb and chicken are the primary meats. Breakfast is typically flat bread, cheese, honey, sheep or cow yogurt, and a glass of black tea. For lunch, lamb and vegetables are simmered in a tomato sauce to make a stew usually served with rice and savory dishes are usually served with rice or flat bread (Naan). Kurdistan has a climate and soil suited to grapes, pomegranates, figs, and walnuts. Kurdish honey has a clear light taste and is often sold with the honeycomb. Kurdistan also produces dairy products from sheep and cow milk. Kurds make many types of kofta and kubba, dumplings filled with meat.
