I was looking for a quick and easy side dish recipe to make for dinner the other night. I knew I didn't have much more than 30 minutes and wanted to make a rice dish. I remember having a delicious Persian rice with fava beans and dill as a child and began looking for an easy version of this recipe. I wanted to stick with simple ingredients and didn't want to go as far as making tahdig (a crunchy, delicious crust on some Persian rice dishes). After searching through a few recipes, I found this one which had a simple ingredient list and sounded reminiscent of the rice I had enjoyed as a child. This side dish did not fail. I am sure this is not 100% authentic, but the flavor is fantastic. What I love about this variation as well is that your prepare the rice separately, then add the other ingredients. This way I can keep some plain rice on the side for any picky eaters in the group. Enjoy this rice wish some Persian chicken kabobs or just about any meal.
