SAFFRON ALMOND RICE
I simply love the flavors of North Africa and I think that you'll enjoy this as much as I do. I like to make this with pistachios in place of the almonds sometimes.

Steps:
- Rinse the rice in a colander under cold water until it runs clear, picking out any little pieces of grit or debris. Shake off the excess water. Heat a pot over medium heat, and then add the rice, oil, garlic, saffron and cayenne pepper. Stir and toast the rice until the cayenne and saffron are fragrant, about 4 minutes. Shake the pot to level out the rice, and then add the chicken stock to fill about 1/2-inch over the rice. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer and cover to cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice stand another 5 minutes, covered. Fluff with a fork. Stir in the almond slivers and lemon zest, season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium bowl, soak the rice in the water, about 30 minutes. Put the almonds in a small skillet and roast, stirring and shaking the skillet, over medium heat until a few shades darker, about 1 minute. Reserve for garnish. Soak the saffron in the milk about 15 minutes.2. Heat the ghee (or oil) in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat and sauté the ginger, cumin, cardamom, and black pepper, about 1 minute. Add the rice with the water it was soaking in. Mix in the salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pan (partially at first, until the foam subsides, then snugly), and cook until the rice is done, about 8 to 10 minutes.3. Uncover the pan, sprinkle the saffron milk over the rice, then cover the pan and cook another 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Do not stir the rice while it cooks. Remove from the heat and let the rice rest undisturbed about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, lightly mix in the garam masala, then scatter the roasted almonds and the pistachios on top and serve.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.

Steps:
- 1. Pick over the rice carefully to remove its many small solid particles of grit.
- 2. Wash the rice by placing it in a large container and covering it with lukewarm water. Agitate gently with your hand, then pour off the water. Repeat five times until the rice is completely clean.
- 3. In a large nonstick pot, bring 8 cups of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil. Add the rice to the pot and boil briskly for 6 to 10 minutes, gently stirring twice with a wooden spoon to loosen any grains that stick to the bottom. Once the rice rises to the top of the pot, it is done.
- 4. Drain the rice in a large, fine-mesh strainer and rinse with 3 cups lukewarm water.
- 5. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup oil, 2 spatulas full of the rice, the yogurt, 1/2 cup lukewarm water, and 1 tablespoon of saffron water. Spread this mixture over the bottom of the rice pot. This will form the golden crust, or tah dig.
- 6. One spatulaful at a time, gently mound the remaining rice onto the tah dig layer. Shape it into a pyramid to leave room for the rice's expansion.
- 7. Cover the pot and cook the rice for 10 minutes over medium heat.
- 8. Mix 1 cup cold water with 4 tablespoons oil and pour over rice. Sprinkle on the remaining saffron water. Place a clean dishtowel or 2 layers of paper towel over the pot to absorb condensation, and cover with the lid to prevent steam from escaping. Reduce the heat to low and cook 50 minutes longer.
- 9. Remove the pot from the heat and cool it, still covered, on a damp surface for 5 minutes to loosen the crust.
- 10. There are two ways to serve the rice. The first is to hold the serving platter tightly over the uncovered pot and invert the two together, unmolding the entire mound onto the platter. The rice will emerge as a golden-crusted cake, to be garnished with edible flowers and herbs, then served in wedges. The second serving style is to spoon the rice into a pyramid on the serving platter, taking care not to disturb the bottom crust as you do so. After the pyramid is shaped, detach the crust with a wooden spatula and arrange it in pieces around the pyramid or serve it on a small side platter.
- NOTE: You can use any kind of pot to make this rice, but nonstick pots make unmolding the rice much easier.
- NOTE: If using American long-grain rice, wash the rice once only.
- NOTE: To reheat leftover rice, place it in a saucepan with 1/2 cup water and place over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Rice Cooker Method
- Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 1 1/4 hours
- 3 cups long-grain white basmati rice 4 cups cold water 1 tablespoon salt 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, butter, or ghee 1/4 teaspoon ground saffron threads, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1. Pick over and wash the rice as per the master recipe above.
- 2. In the rice cooker, combine the rice, water, salt, and oil. Gently stir with a wooden spoon until the salt has dissolved. Start the rice cooker.
- 3. After 1 1/4 hours, pour saffron water over the rice. Unplug the rice cooker.
- 4. Keep the cooker covered and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- 5. Remove the lid, hold the serving platter tightly over the pot and invert the two together, unmolding the entire mound onto the platter. The rice will emerge as a golden-crusted cake, to be garnished with edible flowers and herbs, then served in wedges. NUSH-E JAN!
- NOTE: If using American long-grain rice, wash the rice once only and use only 3 cups of water in Step 2.
- Variation:Saffron Steamed Brown Basmati RiceFor 3 cups of brown basmati rice, use 6 3/4 cups water in Step 2. The amounts of salt, oil, and saffron water remain the same.
- Najmieh Batmanglij shares her tips with Epicurious:
- •Batmanglij highly recommends using a rice cooker for this recipe - it's easier, and the nonstick, evenly heating surface ensures a good crust. She favors the National Deluxe brand - if you're using a different brand, check the instructions, as you may need to change the measurements and cooking times. •Though many Iranians now use vegetable oil, clarified butter (ghee) is Iran's traditional cooking fat. To make it, start with a third more unsalted butter than you will need for the recipe. Melt the butter over low heat, then increase the heat to medium low and simmer the butter, without stirring, until it stops crackling and the milk solids brown and drop to the bottom. Skim off any foam from the top, and strain the ghee through a colander lined with cheesecloth. Ghee will keep at room temperature, covered, for several months. •Batmanglij prefers Persian full-fat drained yogurt, which is thicker than the American variety. American nonfat yogurt can be substituted for a less rich flavor. •Batmanglij recommends buying saffron in thread form rather than powder, which is often adulterated with turmeric. Before they can be used in a recipe, the threads must be ground with a cube of sugar, using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, and then diluted in hot water. "The saffron water can then be stored and used as needed," says Batmanglij. "Never use the unground threads."
RICE WITH ALMONDS AND RAISINS
The rice is cooked in chicken broth instead of water to give it a good flavor. This dish would complement any meat, poultry, or fish. Delicious!

- In a medium-sized saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, pour the rice in the bottom. In a measuring cup combine the stock with the saffron, turmeric, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the salt. Stir well. Pour the liquid over the rice in the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cover tightly with the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook about 12 to 15 minutes* or according to package directions, until the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
- Move the pot off the heat. Without lifting the lid, let rest for another 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender. The residual heat inside the pot will finish steaming the rice. The rice will stay warm for up to an hour with the lid in place.
- When ready to serve, fluff the rice with two forks. Taste and adjust salt if needed (this will depend on the saltiness of your stock). If the rice gets too salty, stir in another squeeze of lemon juice. Stir in the raisins and most of the pistachios. Sprinkle the top with the remaining nuts. Serve hot.
