Jewelled Persian Rice with Pomegranates, Walnuts
Parsley

• Based on the classic Persian dish, Javaher Polow,
  this fruity rice is truly fit for a king and
  really shows off the amazing grain length of
  Amira Superior Aromatic rice. It makes a great
  side dish for a spicy stew or a succulent roast
  chicken. The buttery golden crust that develops
  on the bottom of the pan - traditionally called
  the tahdig - is a truly delicious treat.
