Reshteh Polo - Persian Noodle Rice with Onions and Raisins
Reshteh Polo is a widely loved Persian rice dish. The floral aroma of the saffron rice combined with the sweetness of the caramelised onions and raisins make for a multifaceted dish - too good for a humble side dish really. The brown noodles in the rice create the most mouthwatering tahdig (the crispy bits from the bottom of the pot)!
Havij Polo – Jewelled Carrot Rice
Havij Polo is a colourful jewelled rice dish. The aromatic Persian saffron rice is accompanied by caramelised bitter orange peel and julienne, sweet carrots.
Albaloo Polo – Persian Saffron and Sour Cherry Rice
Albaloo Polo is one of Iran's most beautiful rice dishes. Sweet, sour and fragrant, it combines fluffy saffron rice with sour cherries and tiny meatballs. The key is preserving the shape of the cherries and keeping the rice light and fluffy. This version uses a layered steaming method that creates incredible flavour while keeping the rice separate and delicate.
