Persian Rice With Cinnamon, Pistachios and Golden Raisins

"A very easy Persian rice recipe. I am suspecting that the curry powder called for is really advieh/baharat or a similar Persian spice mix. From the cookbook Vegetarian Planet by Didi Emmons. Only a few alterations were made with this recipe."

  • In a saute pan heat the butter over medium heat. Add the rice and saute for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grains begin to turn golden.
  • Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic, orange peel, cinnamon and curry powder. Saute another minute, stirring until the mixture starts to smell fragrant. Now add the water, cover the pan, turn down the heat to a simmer.
  • Cook the rice for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pistachios and golden raisins/sultanas. Remove the orange peels before serving or warn everyone not to eat them.

  1. I made this using a rice and whole grain mix and added a cubed chicken breast (cooked with the rice mix) to make it a one dish meal. I used the baharat as suggested by CG and I'm really glad that I did. It came out delicious and it was much enjoyed, The flavors are a real delight and this will certainly be made again soon!
