Kaleh pacheh is a traditional Persian dish made from various parts of a sheep’s head and feet, typically enjoyed as a hearty breakfast in Iran and other parts of the Middle East and Central Asia. The dish's name reflects its ingredients, with "kaleh" meaning head and "pacheh" meaning feet.
The preparation involves slow-cooking the sheep’s head, feet, and sometimes the stomach with onions, turmeric, garlic, and various spices until they become tender and gelatinous. Kaleh pacheh is known for its rich, fatty broth and its distinct texture, offering a unique taste that is savory, intense, and slightly gelatinous.
