Hi everyone,
This is a persian-style rice that is really easy to cook, with just 10 minutes preparation time. The saffron-pistachio decoration on top of it makes it look fancy and special :) hope you like it!

Canola oil: 1/4 cup
Saffron: 1/4 tsp

How to prepare


  • Add rice to a none stick Dutch oven or big saucepan, then rinse the rice with water, but don't over-rinse it!
  • Add cold water on the rice, add salt and canola oil.
  • Put the saucepan over medium high heat. Let the water boil and dry.
  • When you see no more water and the rice is half cooked, make small holes in the rice with a spoon, so it will brew better.

  • Let it cooks this way for 30-45 minute. Check the rice afterwards to see if it's cooked.
  • Brew the Saffron based on the the following recipe: Brewing Saffron

  • Set the rice in a desired plate, decorate it with the mix in the small bowl.
