Funny how they got the origin so wrong. I always thought it was Turkish too.

Manti is definitely Turkic in origin, and shishbarak seems like it's a Turkic thing, given that it's basically a baked mantı, however at least the word, I discovered, is Persian. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshpara 

 

The Turks and Mongols weren't really much a thing in the Middle East until after the advent of Islam, so its entry into the Arabic language would have been through contact with the Sassanian empire

 

Interesting. So I guess the internet is wrong on it being a pre islamic Persian dish.

[Hello]

How's everybody's Friday going! I joined this forum to talk about meat dishes/charcuterie.

[What's the origin of shishbarak?]

I've always been curious about the origin of this dish. Some research tells me it originated in pre Islamic Persia. Was it brought there by Turks/Mongols? Chinese influence along the silk road? Or independently created in Persian kitchens? Manti is supposed to have a turkic origin. How are these two dishes different?
