Recipes from Persian Cooking For A Healthy Kitchen
1. Pick over and wash 3 cups of rice 5 times in warm water.
2. Place rice, salt, and water in a deep non-stick pot. Bring to a boil
over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes over
medium heat (do not cover the rice). Gently stir the rice with a wooden
spoon a few times while it boils.
3. When the rice has absorbed all the water, pour the oil over it and stir
through gently with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat.
4. Place a clean dish towel or 2 layers of paper towel over the pot and
cover firmly with the lid on to prevent steam from escaping. Cook 40
minutes over low heat. Remove the pot from heat and allow to cool for 5
minutes on a damp surface without uncovering.
5. Gently taking one skimmer or spatula full of rice at a time, without
disturbing the bottom crust, place the rice on a serving platter. Mound
rice in shape of a cone.
6. Detach the crust from the bottom of the pot using a wooden spatula.
Place on a small platter and serve on the side.
