SHEVEED POLO (DILL RICE)

This dish is a simple way to make use of a whole bunch of dill and transform an ordinary pot of plain rice. Naz Deravian, the author of "Bottom of the Pot: Persian Recipes and Stories" (Flatiron Books, 2018), uses a mix of fresh and dried dill here. The dried dill enhances the fragrance and also draws out the humidity from the fresh dill so the rice doesn't turn mushy when steaming. This recipe uses a traditional Persian technique for cooking rice in which you boil the rice for several minutes over high heat, wrap the lid in a kitchen towel to catch the condensation, then steam the rice over low heat for several minutes more. Don't worry; it won't be overcooked. It will be fluffy perfection. Serve it with chicken or seafood, like this roasted dill salmon.

Steps:

  • Set aside 1/4 cup of the chopped fresh dill. In a bowl, combine the rest of the fresh dill with the dried dill.
  • Place the rice, butter and salt in a medium pot. Add 3 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Give it a stir, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the water has been absorbed, about 12 minutes. (It's O.K. to lift the lid to check.)
  • Fold the dill mixture into the rice. Wrap the lid in a kitchen towel to catch the condensation, ensuring that the kitchen towel is secured up top so it doesn't catch fire. Firmly place the lid back on the pot.
  • Cook until the rice is cooked through and fluffy, about 15 minutes more. Gently fluff with a spoon, then transfer to a serving platter, scattering the reserved 1/4 cup fresh dill in between spoonfuls of rice.

1 large bunch dill, trimmed and finely chopped
3 tablespoons dried dill
2 cups white basmati rice, rinsed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Persian Rice With Fava Beans and Dill (Baqala Polow) image

Steps:

  • Wash the rice by placing it in a large container and covering it with water. Agitate gently with your hand, then pour off the water. Repeat 5 times until the water is no longer cloudy. Drain, using a fine-mesh colander, and set aside.
  • If using fresh fava beans in the pod, shell and remove second skins. If using frozen favas with second skins removed, place in a colander and rinse thoroughly. Set aside.
  • Heat ¼ cup (60ml) oil in a large, non-stick pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the cinnamon stick, leek, and garlic, and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the leek is wilted. Add the rice, salt, pepper, turmeric, cardamom, and rose water, and stir-fry for another 1 minute.
  • Add the water, tip in the skinned fava beans and bring back to a boil, stirring gently twice with a wooden spoon, to loosen any grains that may have stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cover firmly with a lid to prevent any steam from escaping. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
  • Add the dill and fluff using 2 forks. Drizzle the remaining oil and the saffron-infused rose water over the rice. Cover again, reduce heat to low, and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and allow to cool, still covered, for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with fried eggs and Yogurt and Persian Shallot Dip or alongside roasted lamb or fish.

2 cups (400g) white basmati rice
3 lbs (1.3kg) fresh fava beans, or 1 lb (450g) frozen fava beans
½ cup (120ml) olive oil
1 (4-inch/10cm) cinnamon stick
1 leek (white and green parts), finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons ground cardamom
2 tablespoons rose water
3 cups (700ml) water
3 cups (250g) coarsely chopped dill weed
½ teaspoon ground saffron dissolved in 2 tablespoons rose water
Fried eggs and Yogurt and Persian Shallot Dip for serving (optional)

Persian Rice with Pistachios and Dill image

Steps:

  • Rinse rice in several changes of cold water in a large bowl until water runs clear. Drain in a large sieve.
  • Bring water and salt to a boil in a 6-quart heavy pot and parboil rice, uncovered, 5 minutes. Drain in large sieve.
  • Melt butter in bottom of cleaned pot and spoon rice over it, alternating with sprinklings of dill and pistachios and mounding loosely, ending with rice. Make 5 or 6 holes in rice to bottom of pot with round handle of a wooden spoon, then cover pot with a kitchen towel and a heavy lid. Fold edges of towel up over lid (to keep towel from burning) and cook rice, undisturbed, over moderately low heat until tender and a crust forms on bottom, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Spoon loose rice onto a platter and dip bottom of pan in a large bowl of cold water 30 seconds to loosen tah-dig (the rice crust on the bottom). Remove tah-dig with a large spoon and serve in a separate bowl or over loose rice.

3 cups basmati rice (1 1/4 pound)
4 quart water
3 tablespoons salt (for water)
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1 cup coarsely chopped shelled natural pistachios (5 ounces)
