Steps:
- Add rice to a bowl and fill with water. Mix well to remove the starch. Strain and repeat until the water runs clear. This helps the grains of rice stay separated after cooking. Add strained rice to a bowl with 2 tablespoons of salt. Cover with 2 cups of water. Soak for 30 mins. Meanwhile, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice mixture to the boiling water. Boil for 5-8 minutes until rice is al-dente. If a lot of foam rises to the top, skim it off with a spoon. Strain rice. In a wide-bottomed pot, add the canola oil and saffron threads. Stir. Scoop a layer of rice into the pot and press is down with a spatula. This will be the crispy top layer (the tahdig, which translates to 'bottom of the pot'). Scoop the rest of the rice on top of the packed layer in a pyramid shape. With the handle of a spoon, make holes in the pyramid to allow the steam to escape. Be careful not to press down to the bottom of the pan. Cover and cook on med-high heat for 10 minutes. This part can vary depending on your stove, so be careful not to burn it. Turn heat to low. Wrap the lid with a towel, cover and cook on low heat for 45 minutes. When you remove the lid, the rice should be making a crackling sound. If you can, carefully check the bottom of the pot to check it the bottom is crispy. The rice on top should be fluffy. If not, cover and cook for 15 more mins. Cover the pot with a flat plate and flip it over. Garnish with mint and parsley and serve as-is or broken in pieces. Great served with saucy meat dishes.

Steps:
- Place the rice in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Swish the water a couple times with your hands, then rinse the rice in a large mesh sieve or colander with small drainage holes. Repeat the process until the water runs clear. Put the rice back in the bowl and cover with 3 cups cold water along with 1 tablespoon salt; give it a couple of stirs. Let soak 1 hour.
- Add 8 cups water and the remaining 3 tablespoons salt to a large saucepot and bring to a boil. Drain the rice and add it to the boiling water, giving a stir. Let cook until the water begins to bubble again, about 3 minutes. Check the rice: It should be al dente (soft on the outside with a slight bite in the center). If still not al dente, cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Drain the rice and rinse briefly with warm water. Taste the rice: If it seems too salty, rinse it again. Set the rice aside in the sieve.
- Stir the saffron and 3 tablespoons hot water together in a small cup.
- Place a 6-quart nonstick pot over medium-high heat. Add the ghee and half of the saffron water. Swirl to melt and completely coat the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pot. When the ghee begins to sizzle, add enough rice to coat the bottom of the pot evenly, about 1 1/2 inches high. Press down gently but firmly with a spatula or a measuring cup to compact the rice and press about 2 inches up the sides to form a crust. Gently spoon the remaining rice over the top, forming a small mound in the center. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, make 6 deep holes to vent steam down into the rice, stopping before hitting the bottom of the pot. Cover the pot with the lid and cook for about 10 minutes (you will see steam coming from underneath the lid).
- Whisk the melted butter together with the remaining saffron water. Remove the lid from the pot, being careful not to drip condensation back into the pot. Turn the heat to low. Wrap the lid with a clean kitchen towel, securing at the top to keep loose ends away from the fire. Drizzle the saffron butter into the rice. Cover with the lid and continue to cook, rotating the pot every so often for even browning, until the crust is deeply golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove the lid. Let stand 5 minutes, then check that the bottom is detached from the pot with an offset spatula, loosening it gently if necessary. Place a platter over the top of the pot, using kitchen towels to hold the sides, and in one quick motion, invert the pot and the rice onto the platter. Serve immediately.
TAHDIG RECIPE (CRISPY PERSIAN RICE)
Tahdig, pronounced tah-deeg, literally means "bottom of the pot" in Persian. And it refers to a beautiful, pan-fried Persian rice that is fluffy and buttery on the inside with a perfectly golden crust, which is the layer at the bottom of the pot. This tahdig is laced with saffron and scented with orange zest. Be sure to use a nonstick pan for this recipe. Step-by-step photos and more tips in the post.

Steps:
- Mix the saffron into 1 cup very warm (but not hot) water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to let the saffron release all of its flavor.
- In a sieve, rinse the rice under cool running water until the water almost runs clear.
- In a large pot, combine 8 cups of water and the salt (this is your one shot to season the rice itself). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook until al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the rice.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the cooked rice, the yogurt, grapeseed oil, and 2 tbsp of the saffron water. Mix thoroughly.
- Spread the rice-yogurt mixture evenly on the bottom of a 10-inch lidded nonstick pot. Sprinkle 1 cup of the remaining cooked rice on top, followed by 2 tablespoons of the dried cherries, a pinch of orange zest, and a pinch of cinnamon. Add another layer of rice and repeat with the cherries, orange zest, and cinnamon, reserving a couple tbsp of the cherries for garnish. As you go about layering, the rice will start to dome and look "pointy" in the middle--that's okay! Keep it that way. Finish by dotting the top with the butter and pour the rest of the saffron water all over the top.
- Wrap the lid in a kitchen towel and secure it around the handle with a rubber band. Cover the pot and cook over low heat, 25 to 30 minutes or until the rice around the edges is golden and crispy; it's okay to peek under the lid! (See note #2) Be sure not to burn the bottom layer of the rice, though you do want a nice crust in the bottom.
- Remove the lid, invert a large serving plate over the pot, and carefully flip them over together. No worries if it sticks, just scrape it out and run with it! Sprinkle the tahdig with the reserved dried cherries and pistachios and serve right away.

TAHDIG (PERSIAN RICE)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, add salt and stir. Cover pot and allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
- In a large skillet or saute pan , heat olive oil on medium heat. Be sure to coat sides and bottom of the pan. Add cooked rice and "mash" it with a spoon to compact it, ensuring it is evenly spread throughout pan.
- Cover and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes on medium heat or until you hear it crack and sizzle.
- Once rice is done, remove lid and carefully flip rice over onto a serving dish, so crusted rice is now on the top. The rice should have a thick layer of brown, crispy rice.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, rinse rise several times until the water drains clear.
- Fill bowl with water again and add a large pinch of salt. Allow rice to soak for about 20 minutes while you boil water. Reserve 3 tablespoons of boiling water for later use. *I've read/heard different soaking times, anywhere from no soaking to overnight.
- Bring a large pot with 4 cups of water to a boil. Drain rice and add to boiling water. Allow to cook, uncovered on medium-high heat for exactly 8 minutes (Set your timer.) Skim the foam off the top.
- When rice is done, it should begin to puff up, be soft on the outside and hard on the inside. Drain rice and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
- Using a mortar and pestle, grind a large pinch of saffron until it becomes powdery. Dissolve saffron in reserved 3 tablespoons hot water and stir with a spoon. Set aside.
- Heat a medium size non-stick skillet on medium high heat and add oil, 3 Tb plain water, turmeric and saffron liquid. Gently swirl pan around so bottom is fully coated.
- Add rice back into the pan, making sure the entire bottom is covered. Using the back of your large spoon, poke holes into the rice mound being careful not to go all the way down. Allow to cook on medium-high for 10 minutes, you should see steam coming out.
- Cover pan lid with a kitchen towel and close pan. The towel will catch any moisture from the rice. Allow to cook for another 35 minutes. When it's done, you should hear a sizzle and crackling sound.
- To serve: remove lid and place plate on top, carefully inverting the pan so the bottom of the rice is up. Or you can scoop the rice out and break the tahdig apart and scatter around the edges.

CRISPY TAHDIG
I was introduced to this by a friend of my mom's. She was married to an Iranian man, and he always made the most fragrant, fabulous rice. This is a little bit of work, compared to regular white rice, but it is so worth it. Not hard at all. Great with your favorite stir fry. The best part is the browned, crunchy tadiq, the bottom crust of the rice. For a great presentation, turn it out on a platter, and watch the family fight for the tadiq! Don't try to avoid fat and calories by using margarine, it isn't the same at all.

Steps:
- Start the 2 quarts water and salt boiling in large stock pot or dutch oven.
- Rinse rice until water runs clear (or as close to clear as you can get it).
- Add rice to boiling water, boil about 10 minutes or until rice is about half cooked.
- Drain rice in colander, reserve.
- In stock pot or dutch oven, pour about 1/4 cup melted butter on bottom, tilt to cover 2 inches up sides.
- Pour the half-cooked rice into the pot, try to make a nice mound in the middle, and avoid the sides as much as possible.
- With the end of a wooden spoon, make holes in the mound of rice (5 or 6 places) evenly around.
- Pour the remaining melted butter onto the rice, and drizzle 1/4 Cup of the extra water into the holes you made. Cover pot with kitchen towel to absorb the steam, place pot lid on towel.
- Cook on very low heat, checking after about 15 minutes. If the rice is browning too fast, add the remaining extra water a little bit at a time.
- Cook rice until it's done, about 30 minutes.
- Try not to check it too often, as it needs to steam.

PERSIAN TAHDIG RICE
Persian rice is made differently from the standard way I learned how to make rice. It is boiled in plenty of water, drained, then steamed and crisped with butter and a little more water. The plentiful water takes the starchy flavor out of the rice, and if you are lucky, you will get some nice crispy rice on the bottom, which is a little sweet. It takes a little longer to cook to get the tahdig, so I don't always bother.

Steps:
- Grind saffron threads with sugar in a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl and dissolve in boiling water. Set aside to soak.
- Wash starch from the rice by rinsing it in a nonstick 4-quart pot. Rinse 3 or 4 times in lukewarm water until water runs clear. Fill the pot 3/4 full with cold water, covering the rice. Bring to a boil. Add olive oil and cook until rice is soft on the outside and still crunchy in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Drain rice and rinse with cool water. Set aside. Rinse any excess rice starch out of the pot.
- Melt butter in the clean, dry pot. Mound rice over the butter; add enough water to reach 1/3 of the height of the rice. Sprinkle salt over the rice. Wrap the lid with a kitchen towel and cover the pot to seal tightly. Simmer over medium heat until all water is absorbed and a crispy crust starts to form on the bottom, about 10 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork while turning it out on a plate. Measure 1 cup rice and mix with the saffron water. Scatter saffron rice over plain rice. Detach the layer of crust, or 'tahdig', from the bottom of the pot and serve in a separate dish as a special treat.

- Wash the rice: Put the rice in a large bowl and add enough cold water to cover it well. Swirl it around with your hand, then drain the rice through a colander or large mesh strainer. Do that several more times until the water is almost clear with no chalky residue floating in it. It'll take about 5 to 7 times of rinsing and draining to get the rice to that point.
- Put the washed and drained rice back in the bowl and cover it with cold water. Let it sit for 1 hour, then drain.
- Parboil the rice: Bring a big pot of water (about 4-6 quarts/liters) to a boil with 2 tablespoons of salt in it. When it comes to a boil, add the drained rice and cook until the rice is just slightly softened and a bit tender, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Prepare the saffron: While the rice is parboiling, in a medium bowl, use your fingers to crush the saffron. (If you have a mortar and pestle, they work well at crushing it saffron, too.) Add 2 tablespoons of hot water from the parboiling rice pot to the saffron and let the saffron infuse the water for 15 minutes. Stir in the yogurt, oil, and 1 or 2 teaspoons of salt, depending on your preference for salt. (I used 2 teaspoons.)

- Bring 6 cups of water and about 1/4 cup salt to a boil in a large pot. It seems like a lot of salt, but it's not, trust me.
- Rinse the rice under water. Once the water is boiling, add the rice, and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally until al dente, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain into a sieve and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
- Melt together the butter and oil in a 10-inch skillet set over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the yogurt coated rice and level it out with the back of your spoon. Pile the remaining rice into the pan, mounding it toward the center. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, gently dig 5-6 holes into the rice down to the bottom of the skillet. There should be enough oil in the pan so that you can see it bubbling up the sides. Add oil if needed.

- Parboil the rice (boil for less time than described in the packet instructions). Meanwhile, If using a potato, peel and slice about 7mm thick. Optional: prepare the liquid saffron by grinding the saffron into a powder (you can add a little sugar to help) and mix with 3 tbsp hot water. Leave to use later. Once the rice is cooked until edible but not too soft, drain and quickly rinse with cold water. You are going to cook to steam the rice next...
- On medium heat, cover the base of a deep pan with oil and sprinkle in the salt. Once sizzling hot, you can momentarily take away from the heat for safety, place the potatoes or flat bread on the base of the pan: Either - If the tortilla is larger than the pan base, trim it to fit. Or - Lie the potato slices so that as much of the base is covered as possible. Chop up the remaining pieces to fit into gaps. You can place small extra pieces of potato on top but should generally stick to a single layer.
- If you took the pan off the heat, put it back on to keep the oil hot. With a serving spoon, sprinkle the rice on top and build into a dome shape, pulling away from the sides to avoid burning. Cover with a lid wrapped in a table cloth to allow the rice to steam.
- If you are using potatoes, cook on high heat for 2-3 mins then turn to low heat. If you are using bread, turn immediately to low heat. Cook for around 25 minutes. Of course, if you smell burning remove from the heat - the time can depend on how thick the base of your pan is.
