Lentil rice (Adas polo) from Bottom of the Pot: Persian Recipes and Stories (page 123) by Naz Deravian

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

Accompaniments: Tomato cucumber salad; Everyday turmeric chicken (Morgh ba zardchoobeh); Saffron chicken (Morgh ba z'afaran)

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.

Notes about this recipe

    Delicious! Uses 3 pots on the stove but recipe is pretty easy. I love the fruits and cinnamon with the savory lentils, rice and cumin. I may increase the onions next time just because I love them. I used pre-ground saffron but the book recommends grinding saffron threads yourself. I was glad the recipe says you can cook the rice in water instead of the chicken stock, so it’s vegetarian-friendly.
