Kuhna is a traditional cooking method originating from the Middle East, particularly associated with the Persian culture. It involves slow-cooking food in a sealed pot, allowing flavors to meld and ingredients to become tender. This technique is often used for stews and rice dishes, making it a staple in many households. The term "Kuhna" can also refer to specific dishes prepared using this method, such as Khoresht, a type of Persian stew. The slow-cooking process enhances the taste and aroma, making Kuhna meals rich and satisfying. This culinary practice reflects the importance of communal dining in Persian culture.
