Culinary Traditions

Afghan cooking sits at a crossroads of Central Asian, Persian and South Asian kitchens. Long-grain rice is steamed with cardamom and caramelized carrots, meats are marinated and grilled over open flame, and dumplings are folded by hand and finished with yogurt and split-pea sauces.
