Rice with fresh fava beans and Spring dill (Baqala polow) from Food of Life, Fourth Edition (25th Anniversary): Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies (page 258) by Najmieh Batmanglij

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Sautéed fish with garlic and bitter orange (Mahi-ye sir-dagh ba narenj); Potato khoresh (Khoresh-e qeymeh)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.
