Middle Eastern Food, can be quite flavourful; however I should point out this is a Recipe that I created, based on a few recipes here and there.
To make your own Persian Rice Blend: The Ingredients on my packet is Dill, Coriander, Parsley, Onion, Chives and Raw Garlic
If you don’t have access to a Middle Eastern, or Indian Grocer, here are some links:- Saffron Strands, Saffron Powder/Colour. As the Persian Rice Blend is usually sold Frozen, Zaatar is a good alternative, but only use 1 TBSP.
Ingredients
Method
- Wash Basmati Rice, to remove any starch. Soak for a minimum 30 minutes , and wash again.
- Dissolve 1 Chicken Stock cube in 200mls of water, or use pre-made chicken stock
- Boil 1 cup of Basmati Rice, according to your preferred method, using Stovetop, Microwave, or Rice Cooker. Top up the 200mls of stock with more water or chicken stock if required. I used a Joseph Joseph Rice Cooker, and cooked in the Microwave.
- Once cooked, separate grains to remove clumps, and place in fridge for 1 to 3 hours.
- Place Saffron Strands between Ice Cubes, till ice has melted. Put aside.
- Heat Wok (or large Pan), and add Vegetable Oil to high heat.
- Add 50mls of water to Rice, and separate grains with a large bamboo spoon (or similar)
- Lower Heat. Add Rice to Wok, and stir with Bamboo Spoon, covering grains with Oil. Do this for 1 to 2 minutes (DO NOT OVERCOOK, as Rice will be too Dry). Add Persian Rice Blend, Saffron Strands (Including water), Green Onion. Stir together, then add Saffron powder and stir again.
- Serve with Tabouleh, Falafel and your choice of Meat. If you have access to a Middle Eastern Grocer, try some of the frozen products such as Kibbeh, Falafel etc
