خطوات التحضير
Sauté the onion until soft, add chicken and turmeric, and cook until it changes color.
Add tomato paste and water; simmer covered for 30 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce thickens.
Parboil the rice in salted water until half-cooked, then drain.
Grease the base of a pot with butter and saffron, layer in the rice, and steam on low heat for 25 minutes to form the tahdig crust.
Soak the barberries in cold water for 10 minutes, then sauté briefly in a little butter and sugar for 2 minutes.
Serve the rice topped with the sauteed barberries, with the chicken and its sauce alongside.
نصيحة
Don't sauté the barberries too long — they burn quickly and turn bitter; two minutes on medium heat is enough.
Zereshk polo is one of Persian cuisine's most famous «jeweled» rice dishes, traditionally served at celebrations and Iranian holidays. It features barberries — tart, tangy dried red berries — that balance the saffron-scented sweetness of the rice.
The rice is cooked in the classic Persian style so a crispy golden crust called «tahdig» forms at the bottom of the pot, widely considered the most coveted part of the dish.
