PERSIAN STYLE CHICKEN AND RICE
This isn't actually a Persian recipe, but it is inspired by Persian dishes i have had in the past.... It's very easy to prepare and its great for summertime, or as a side dish for a nice lamb tagine. Very important - must use real saffron, not imitation! You can use less or more butter if you like, depending on how you like the taste (or how worried you are about the waistline!!!)

PERSIAN CHICKEN STUFFED WITH RICE
The rice stuffing is very simple to make and turns out beautifully! If barberries are not available, chopped fresh cranberries or sour cherries are a good substitution. Preparation time does not include marinating time. Adapted from Persian Cooking for a Healthy Kitchen" by Najmieh Batmanglij.

PERSIAN CHICKEN AND RICE
Posted for ZWT 6. This actually comes from the small Middle Eastern country of Oman. As for cutting the dried apricots, I suggest using kitchen scissors or shears dusted with flour. It makes them much easier to cut.

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.

SERRESH POLLO (PERSIAN CHICKEN AND RICE WITH FRIED ONIONS, RAISI
This was my introduction to persian cuisine. My DH's first wife is Iranian, and she taught him Persian cooking. He can make several awesome dishes, but this was the first he made after moving i with me, and it still is one of my favourites. It's easy and quick to make, too. Barberries are available in oriental groceries. They are very tart and balance the sweet raisins perfectly. It's not exactly calorie friendly, but worth every bite. Serve with green salad.

- Serve with green salad.

PERSIAN CHICKEN WITH TURMERIC AND LIME
A crisp cucumber and fresh herb salad makes a light yet vibrant companion to this golden dish. A squeeze of fresh lime juice and a dollop of yogurt added at the finish lends a lovely citrus tang and a touch of creaminess.
