POLO BA TAHDIG (PERSIAN RICE WITH BREAD CRUST)
No dinner in an Iranian household is complete without polo, or rice. And no pot of polo is complete without tahdig, the crisp crust whose name means "bottom of the pot." Tahdig is a highlight of Persian cuisine, and it can be made of rice, potatoes, lettuce or bread, as it is here. If you can't get your hands on lavash bread, use a thin flour tortilla to line the bottom of the pot. Tahdig is easiest to prepare in a nonstick pot, but you could also prepare it in a cast-iron Dutch oven by reducing the heat to low and extending the cooking time to 50 minutes.

Steps:
- Place the rice in a large bowl and cover with water. Swirl the rice around to release some starch, then drain the bowl and fill again. Repeat several times, until water runs clear, then cover with ample water again and add 1 tablespoon salt. Let soak for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, fill a large soup or stockpot with 6 quarts water. Cover and bring to a boil. Add 7 tablespoons salt (the water should be very salty) and stir to dissolve.
- Use a small mortar and pestle to grind the saffron into a fine powder with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Use a large fine-mesh sieve or colander to drain the rice well. Add rice to the pot and stir gently, then return sieve to the sink. Cook rice, checking the grains frequently for doneness. When the rice breaks easily between your fingers when pressed but is not so soft that it falls apart, it's done. Most Persian or Indian basmati rice will take about 7 to 8 minutes to reach this point, but different brands will cook differently, so keep a closer eye on the rice than on the clock.
- Working quickly, drain rice into the sieve and rinse with cold water until cool to remove excess starch and keep rice from overcooking. Taste the rice and adjust seasoning with salt as needed. Let the rice continue to drain.
- Use the lid of an 8-inch or 9-inch nonstick pot or cast-iron Dutch oven as a guide to trim the lavash bread into a slightly larger circle. It's fine to use more than one piece of bread and patch things as needed. Alternatively, use a tortilla, which needs no trimming.
- Place the pot over medium heat and add the oil. Carefully lay bread atop the oil and cook until it starts sizzling and turns a light golden color, about 30 seconds. Use tongs to flip bread and let it sizzle for another 30 seconds before adding the rice. Use a spatula to gently spread the rice evenly across the pot. Use the handle of the spatula to poke 6 to 8 holes in the rice down to the bread - this will encourage steam to escape from the bottom of the pot and yield a crisp crust.
- In a small saucepan set over low, heat the butter and the prepared saffron until butter melts. Drizzle over the rice. Wrap the lid of the rice pot with a clean dish towel, using the corners of the towel to tie a knot atop the handle. Cover the pot with the lid - the cloth should not touch the rice, but rather absorb steam as the rice cooks to keep it from getting soggy.
- Reduce the flame to medium-low (or low, if using cast-iron) and cook for about 48 minutes, rotating the pot a quarter turn every 12 minutes or so to ensure an evenly golden tahdig (add 12 more minutes for cast-iron). The rice will be done when the grains are elongated and dry and the edges of the crust turn a light golden brown.
- To serve, place a large platter or plate over the pot, gather your courage, praise your ancestors and flip the rice. It should drop onto the plate in one piece. Serve immediately. If not serving immediately, remove the tahdig to a separate platter to keep it from getting soggy as the rice continues to release steam.

Steps:
- Tie cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, and cardamom seeds in a small piece of cheesecloth; set aside. Fill a large saucepan with 4 quarts water and 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in rice and spice sachet. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender, about 10 minutes. Discard sachet and strain rice through a fine-mesh sieve. Let stand in sieve 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel potatoes and slice about 1/8 inch thick using a mandoline. Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat. Transfer butter to a large bowl for the rice mixture. Arrange potatoes in two layers in skillet in a circular pattern, overlapping slightly and working from the outside.
- Toss rice with butter, apricots, and raisins, and season with salt.
- Sprinkle cilantro over potatoes, and top with half of rice mixture, pressing down to form an even layer. Top with remaining rice mixture, continuing to press down, ensuring rice forms an even layer. Place a piece of cheesecloth directly on surface of rice, covering completely.
- Cover pan, and cook for 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until potatoes are crisp and golden brown around edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove cheesecloth. Run a rubber spatula around edge of pan, and invert onto a serving platter, shaking gently to loosen rice from pan.
PERSIAN RICE WITH GOLDEN CRUST
Tah-dig is the Persian word for the crunchy layer of rice that forms on the bottom of the pan. We think it tastes fantastic.

- Spoon loose rice onto a platter and dip bottom of pan in a large bowl of cold water 30 seconds to loosen tah-dig. Remove tah-dig and serve over rice.
PERSIAN RICE
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.

- 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.

PERSIAN TAHDEEG (RICE AND POTATOES)
This is my daughter Nomi's all-time favorite way to eat rice. My friend Debbie, who is married to a Persian, makes this for her every time we're over at their house for a meal. I figured I was going to have to learn to make this myself, since Nomi just adores this rice and asks for it every time. It's a little complicated, but gets easier each time you make it (says Debbie). Well worth the effort, I'm a big fan of this rice myself, and EVERYONE always fights over the crust! Prep time includes soaking.

Steps:
- For best results, soak the rice for a few hours in hot water and some salt before cooking.
- Peel the potatoes and slice them in a round shape.
- You could use the potatoes unpeeled as well since they add lots of fiber to your diet (I don't do this, I have picky kids).
- In a medium size pot, half-way filled with water, bring the water to a boil.
- Add the rice (and the water it was soaking in), and let it cook for a few minutes until it starts boiling.
- Occasionally pick a few of the rice grains with a spoon and chew on them to see if they have softened.
- When the rice is half-crunchy half-soft, take it out and drain it in a kitchen strainer.
- Run tap water on top of it to wash out some of the salt.
- Pour the oil in the pot, add 4 oz of water.
- Lay the potatoes in the bottom of the pot, add a bit of salt, then pile up the rice loosely in the shape of a mountain, on top of the potatoes.
- With the back of a spoon, make five holes, one in the center and four around it so that the rice can breath in the cooking process.
- Spread a little water on top and close the lid.
- Let it cook for a couple of minutes on high heat.
- When the rice starts to steam, change the setting to medium heat and let it cook for about 15 minutes.
- Then turn the heat to medium-low, sprinkle some cooking oil to stop it from drying, and let it cook for another 10 minutes.
- Most likely by this time the smell of the potatoes has filled the kitchen, and the dish is ready to eat.
- Note: If you have a choice, use Basmati rice and be careful not to overboil, it can get pretty sticky if you overcook it.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it; add rice and cook, adjusting heat to maintain a steady boil. Stir occasionally. When rice is nearly done, about 10 minutes later, drain it.
- While rice cooks, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a wide skillet or casserole, preferably nonstick. Arrange potatoes in butter. Pour cooked rice over potatoes; turn heat to very low. Add 2 tablespoons butter and cover. Cook over lowest possible heat, undisturbed, for at least 1 1/2 hours, or until potatoes are crisp (use a spatula to peek). Keep the dish on minimum heat for another half hour, or turn off heat and reheat over medium-low heat for 15 minutes before serving. During last few minutes of cooking, add black pepper and, if you like, 2 more tablespoons of butter.
- Cut potato-rice cake into pieces and serve.
