Persian Rice Pilaf
Persian Palace is a blend of the classic flavors of Persian /Iranian cuisine. The tartness of sumac, the rich color of turmeric, and a touch of chilis are part of the mix.
It makes a quick and easy pilaf -
Warm the spices in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, with 1/2 cup chopped onions, and one minced garlic clove. Saute gently till the onions are transparent, then add 1 1/2 cups well rinsed basmati rice, and a tsp. of salt. Add 3 cups water, bring to a boil, then cover and turn the heat down to just a simmer. Once the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked- about 20 minutes, depending on your rice- fluff with a fork, then pile on a plate sprinkled with lots of chopped parsley and fresh cilantro, and minced green onions or chives if available.
