Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups (400g) white basmati rice
3 lbs (1.3kg) fresh fava beans, or 1 lb (450g) frozen fava beans
½ cup (120ml) olive oil
1 (4-inch/10cm) cinnamon stick
1 leek (white and green parts), finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons ground cardamom
2 tablespoons rose water
3 cups (700ml) water
3 cups (250g) coarsely chopped dill weed
½ teaspoon ground saffron dissolved in 2 tablespoons rose water
Fried eggs and Yogurt and Persian Shallot Dip for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash the rice by placing it in a large container and covering it with water. Agitate gently with your hand, then pour off the water. Repeat 5 times until the water is no longer cloudy. Drain, using a fine-mesh colander, and set aside.
  • If using fresh fava beans in the pod, shell and remove second skins. If using frozen favas with second skins removed, place in a colander and rinse thoroughly. Set aside.
  • Heat ¼ cup (60ml) oil in a large, non-stick pot over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the cinnamon stick, leek, and garlic, and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the leek is wilted. Add the rice, salt, pepper, turmeric, cardamom, and rose water, and stir-fry for another 1 minute.
  • Add the water, tip in the skinned fava beans and bring back to a boil, stirring gently twice with a wooden spoon, to loosen any grains that may have stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cover firmly with a lid to prevent any steam from escaping. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
  • Add the dill and fluff using 2 forks. Drizzle the remaining oil and the saffron-infused rose water over the rice. Cover again, reduce heat to low, and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and allow to cool, still covered, for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with fried eggs and Yogurt and Persian Shallot Dip or alongside roasted lamb or fish.
