PERSIAN RICE



Persian Rice image

I believe I've posted a few fool-proof methods for cooking perfect rice, but this Persian version takes the grand prize, and it's not even close for second. The beauty of this method is that it doesn't rely on any specific measurements, or even exact times. This will make some of you very nervous, but just go with it.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 quarts water
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 cups basmati rice, rinsed
1 pinch ground cumin
salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 russet potato, cut into 1/4-inch slices
3 tablespoons butter, cut into thin slices, or to taste
1 pinch saffron threads
1 ½ tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water and kosher salt to a boil in a pot; add rice and cook, stirring, for exactly 7 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Cover bottom of pot with 1 layer of potato slices. Sprinkle cumin and salt over potatoes. Cook until potatoes are sizzling, 2 to 3 minutes; top potatoes with rice to form an even layer. Reduce heat to low and place butter slices over rice.
  • Top pot with a layer of clean paper towels and place lid over towels. Steam until rice is fluffy, about 45 minutes.
  • Grind saffron threads with a mortar and pestle. Mix crushed saffron with 1 1/2 tablespoons hot water in a large bowl. Add a couple spoonfuls of rice to saffron mixture and stir until rice is yellow.
  • Spoon remaining rice into a serving bowl, top with saffron rice, and line edges of bowl with potatoes. Garnish with parsley.

IRANIAN RICE COOKIES (NAN-E BERENJI)



Iranian Rice Cookies (Nan-e Berenji) image

Two classic Middle Eastern ingredients, rice flour and rose water, come together in these uniquely textured special-occasion cookies. Brown butter adds just the right amount of richness.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon rose water
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup rice flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a fine sieve with four layers of cheesecloth and set over a small liquid measuring cup. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until beginning to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until foamy, stirring occasionally, until butter turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, and milk solids separate into brown specks that sink to bottom, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and strain through prepared sieve, leaving solids behind. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In another small saucepan over medium heat, stir together sugar and 2 tablespoons water until sugar has dissolved, then transfer to a large bowl. Let cool slightly, then add rose water and stir to combine.
  • Add yolk to sugar mixture and whisk until light and slightly thickened. Continue whisking and slowly drizzle in strained brown butter until thick and fully incorporated. In a medium bowl, combine flours, cardamom, and salt. Add to brown butter mixture and stir until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Imprint each ball with the grooved side of a meat mallet, pressing to 1/4 inch thick. Dust mallet with rice flour as needed to prevent sticking. Bake, rotating halfway through, until edges of cookies just turn light golden, about 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

BAKED PERSIAN RICE



Baked Persian Rice image

A wonderful blend of flavors. I love rice, but my husband is not fond of it plain so I look for flavorful ways of preparing it and he really enjoyed this. I used jasmine rice, which is a long-grain but cooks much like a short-grain, and I left mine in the oven for almost 1 1/2 hours to get the golden crustiness I wanted. I like the fact that this can be baked unattended while the rest of the meal is being prepared, eliminating some of the last minute dinner prep. This was improvised from a recipe in The Cook's Bible by Christopher Kimball.

Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (14 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Soak rice to cover for 1 hour; drain through a strainer.
  • Heat oven to 350F and grease a 2-quart souffle' or other baking dish.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until foam subsides; add onion and saute' for 4 minutes; add garlic and saute' another 2 minutes; add spices and salt and saute' for 30 seconds, stirring to combine.
  • Combine the drained rice and onion mixture and put in prepared baking dish; pour in chicken stock and water.
  • Place dish in oven (uncovered) and bake for 1 hour or until there is a golden crust on top.

PERSIAN RICE



Persian Rice image

While this seems unusual, I am told it is common in Iranian (Persian) households. I got the recipe from a young Iranian girl I worked with years ago; the recipe is from her mother. The one time I made it, it fell apart; I hope you have better luck!

Provided by Lennie

Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups long grain rice, washed
1 teaspoon salt
12 cups cold water
2 potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
1/2 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil in a large pot, add the salt, and then boil the washed rice for ten minutes; drain and reserve.
  • Dip the potato slices in the melted butter and use them to line the bottom AND sides of the same pot you just boiled the rice in.
  • Pour any leftover butter in the bottom of the pot.
  • Now, very carefully (don't move the potatoes), place the partially cooked rice into the potato-lined pot.
  • Cover the pot with a teatowel and then its lid and place over medium-low heat; this steams the rice and cooks and browns the potatoes.
  • This will take about 1/2 hour, but carefully check the rice for doneness and the potatoes for browning after about 20 minutes.
  • When the rice and potatoes are done (potatoes will be browned and crispy), remove from heat and remove lid and teatowel.
  • Place a large platter over top of pot and very carefully invert the pot.
  • The whole thing should slide out; if some potatoes come away, put them back where they belong.
  • I was told the crust is called the"tadiq" and it is the part the family members all fight over.
  • I admit that, when I tried to make this dish, it all fell apart; it was tasty though.
