Let me share another favorite Persian food which is sabzi polow (vegetables rice). Very delicious yet nutritious. Normally it will be eaten with fried fish, any fish you prefer. You can also eat sabzi polow with any dish you like. My way of cooking sabzi polow is by using dried vegetables because it is easier rather than using fresh vegetables which is not easily available in our market such as dill.
Recipe:
2 cups rice (soaked with salt for at least 2 hours)
1/2 cup dried vegetables for polow (available in Persian grocery shop) soaked with luke warm water for 15 mins
2 tspn liquid saffron
oil
salt
Methods:
* Bring to boil 500 ml water, pour the soaked rice, boil until al dante
* Drain and rinse
* In a pot, heat up 2 tbsp oil, layer the rice with vegetables, sprinkle some salt and pour the saffron liquid on top
* When steam come out, low down heat, cover the lid with kitchen tissue (to trap water drop back to rice)
* Leave for another 20-30 mins, or until rice cook, leave longer to get tahdig
The result! That crust is called tahdig
