THE IDEAL RECIPE FOR PERSIAN RICE WITH POMEGRANATES, WALNUT AND PARSLEY

unnamed

Based on the classic Persian dish, Javaher Polow, this fruity rice is truly fit for a king and really shows off the amazing grain length of Amira Superior Aromatic rice. It makes a great side dish for a spicy stew or a succulent roast chicken. The buttery golden crust that develops on the bottom of the pan – traditionally called the tahdig – is a truly delicious treat.

  • 300 g Amira Superior Aromatic rice
  • Generous pinch of saffron threads
  • 150 g Dried cranberries
  • 1 Large Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tsp Cardamon pods
  • 1 cumin seeds

  • Seeds picked from 1 large pomegranate or 110g pack ready prepared pomegranate seeds
