David Tanisâ??s Persian Jeweled Rice
"This dish is called jeweled rice because it is golden and glistening, laced with butter and spices and piled with nuts and gem-colored fruits. In Iran, it is typically served at weddings or other celebrations. Great platters of it appear at banquets. It also goes beautifully with a weeknight roast chicken.You will probably need to do a little shopping to make this traditional dish. But it is well worth it, and most good supermarkets can supply what you require. Featured in: City Kitchen: Buried Beneath Jewels, An Aromatic Treasure...."
