PERSIAN RICE PILAF
A very fruity version of rice pilaf that makes an excellent companion to the 16th century recipe for Recipe #124579. It should be started before the chicken, so they are ready at the same time.

Steps:
- Bring water and salt to a rolling boil in a large saucepan.
- Add cinnamon stick, cloves, cracked peppercorns, cardamom seeds, and juniper berries.
- Add two cups of basmati or other long-grain rice, slowly, so the water doesn't stop boiling. Cook for about eight to ten minutes, stirring from time to time to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom, until the rice is just barely done.
- Pour everything into a strainer or colander and let the rice drain. Leave the spices in the rice.
- While the rice is boiling, chop the dried fruit. Throw the fruit on top of the rice draining in the colander.
- Thinly slice one-half of a large onion and sauté it until golden in 5T of unsalted butter with several pinches of saffron or one teaspoon of turmeric.
- While onions are cooking, grease a round casserole with a bit of butter and turn the spiced rice and fruit into a large bowl.
- Turn the golden onions into the bowl and mix everything up.
- Spoon the mixture into the casserole and pat the rice firmly in place with the back of a spoon.
- Drizzle 3 Tbsp of melted butter over the top and cover with two thicknesses of aluminum foil and seal the edges well. Add a lid if your casserole has one. Set the casserole in a preheated 350°F oven and let it bake for an hour.
- Then remove it from the oven and let it sit for 15 minutes or so before removing the foil and unmolding it onto a platter. (Lay the platter on top of the rice and, using a thick dishcloth or potholders, flip the thing over).
- Surround with the Persian chicken.
JEWELED PERSIAN RICE PILAF
This gloriously flavored and fabulously beautiful Jeweled Persian Rice Pilaf makes the most superb side dish. The basmati rice is soft and fluffy and cooked in stock to give it a great depth of flavor. It is lightly spiced with cinnamon, cumin, and cardamom, then finished with cranberries, lemon, and pistachio. This makes a wonderful side for lamb and chicken. Or serve it with fish for something a little bit different. If you are new to Iranian food this is a great place to start.

PERSIAN LENTIL RICE - ADDES PILAF
I had this one day, at a Persian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. It was so good with some okra stew or oxtail stew that I had to try it myself. Serving is for two people, because that's how many people live at home.

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.
