Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ onion, chopped
2 cups long-grain white rice

1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 pinch saffron
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine rice and onion mixture in a 9x13-inch casserole dish placed on a baking sheet. Stir thoroughly to coat the rice.

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.

  • *If using stock that's been stored in the fridge, take it out of the fridge to warm to room temperature. Or you can heat it in a pot or put it in a pyrek measuring cup and pop it in the microwave (using cold stock will add to the time it takes to bring it to a boil).
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then add rice. Stir to ensure that all of the rice is coated in the oil. Toast rice for 4-5 minutes until rice is translucent.
