Steps:
- prep the ingredients: Add the lentils into a small saucepan and add water until the lentils are covered by at least 2 inches. Cook the lentils over medium-high heat until almost tender, about 15-18 minutes. Drain; set aside. Soak the rice in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes while you caramelize the onions.
- onions: Add the olive oil into a deep, thick-bottomed pot (with a lid), like a dutch oven. Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the onions and stir them around to coat with the oil. Set a timer for 20 minutes and cook the onions for a total of 18-22 minutes, stirring often, or until the onions are a deep orange or brown color. If the onions start to brown before the 10-minute mark, lower the heat. Ideally, they should start developing color around 12-15 minutes. And from that point on, you'll need to stir the onions often so that they don't burn. Remove the onions to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- rice pilaf: Drain the soaked rice thoroughly and add it to the oil remaining in the pot (if you have less than a tablespoon, add a little more). Sauté the rice in the remaining oil for 2 minutes. Add the lentils to the pot and season with the cumin, coriander, turmeric, allspice, cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Add 1 1/2 cups of water and let the water come to a rolling boil, cover, lower the heat to the lowest setting, and let cook for 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the stove. Grab a piece of paper towel large enough to cover the pot. Add the caramelized onions to the top of the rice and place the paper towel flat on the pot before placing the lid on top. Let sit for 10 minutes (your stove should be off at this point). Fluff and mix in the onions before serving.
PERSIAN LENTIL RICE - ADDES PILAF
I had this one day, at a Persian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. It was so good with some okra stew or oxtail stew that I had to try it myself. Serving is for two people, because that's how many people live at home.

Steps:
- Place the rice in a bowl, and cover with water. Soak the rice for about 3 hours, and drain off the water. Bring the rice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is partially cooked, about 10 minutes. Drain the liquid from the rice, and set the rice aside.
- Bring 2 more cups of water and a pinch of salt to a boil in a saucepan, and stir in the lentils. Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and fry the onions, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Set the onions aside. Dissolve the saffron in 1/3 cup of hot water, and set aside.
- In a large nonstick pot with deep sides, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until shimmering, and spoon in half the rice to cover the bottom of the pot. Top the rice with the lentils, and cover the lentils with the remaining rice. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and cook until the rice is completely tender and there is a golden brown, crusty layer of rice on the bottom of the pot, about 20 minutes. Pour the saffron water over the rice and lentils, cover, and allow to cook until absorbed, about 10 more minutes.
- To serve, spoon the polow into a serving dish, and peel off and place pieces of the crusty rice layer on top of the polow. Decorate the polow with dates, raisins, and fried onions.

PERSIAN RICE PILAF
A very fruity version of rice pilaf that makes an excellent companion to the 16th century recipe for Recipe #124579. It should be started before the chicken, so they are ready at the same time.

Steps:
- Bring water and salt to a rolling boil in a large saucepan.
- Add cinnamon stick, cloves, cracked peppercorns, cardamom seeds, and juniper berries.
- Add two cups of basmati or other long-grain rice, slowly, so the water doesn't stop boiling. Cook for about eight to ten minutes, stirring from time to time to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom, until the rice is just barely done.
- Pour everything into a strainer or colander and let the rice drain. Leave the spices in the rice.
- While the rice is boiling, chop the dried fruit. Throw the fruit on top of the rice draining in the colander.
- Thinly slice one-half of a large onion and sauté it until golden in 5T of unsalted butter with several pinches of saffron or one teaspoon of turmeric.
- While onions are cooking, grease a round casserole with a bit of butter and turn the spiced rice and fruit into a large bowl.
- Turn the golden onions into the bowl and mix everything up.
- Spoon the mixture into the casserole and pat the rice firmly in place with the back of a spoon.
- Drizzle 3 Tbsp of melted butter over the top and cover with two thicknesses of aluminum foil and seal the edges well. Add a lid if your casserole has one. Set the casserole in a preheated 350°F oven and let it bake for an hour.
- Then remove it from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes or so before removing the foil and unmolding it onto a platter. (Lay the platter on top of the rice and, using a thick dishcloth or potholders, flip the thing over).
- Surround with the Persian chicken.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil and simmer lentils on low for 20 - 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain water from lentils and set aside.
- In a pan, saute the onions and garlic in oil. Add raisins, dates, and spices, except saffron. Mix well and set aside.
- Cook rice as you would like. For a sure-fire way, I use my rice cooker. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add to rice cooker and cover with 2 cups water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a drizzle of oil. Cook. Once rice is done, transfer cooked rice to a large bowl.
- In the same pot (or your rice cooker), add oil to just cover the bottom surface. Add potato slices.
- Add a layer of rice.
- Add a layer of lentil-raisin mixture.
- Continue layering, ending with a final layer of rice.
- Cover and cook (on medium heat in a pot or just hit "cook" button on your rice cooker) for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle melted butter and saffron water over your rice.
- Cover the top of your pot or rice cooker with a tea towel to prevent steam from escaping, and top with lid.
- Cook on low for 30 minutes. You want to make the potatoes crispy, so they must cook slowly. In the rice cooker, I continuously hit the cook button so this process (called tadig) can happen. It's totally worth it!
- Serve.

- Pour rice into a large bowl and fill with water. Rinse several times until the water runs clear, about 6-7 times and then soak the rice for 1 hour.
- In a small pot, add lentils and 1 1/2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook lentils for about 10-15 minutes or until liquid has evaporated and lentils are tender. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- In another pot, add rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Boil rice until it is half way cooked and soft on the outside but still firm in the middle, about 10 minutes. You don't want to cook the rice fully because it will continue to cook later. When done, drain and rinse and set aside.
- In the same pot you cooked the rice that is now empty, drizzle olive oil and saute chopped onion until caramelized. Then add barberries (or dried cranberries) salt, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Toss to combine and remove mixture to a bowl and set aside.
