Persian jewelled rice

Rice 👥 3-4 portions Fast: ⭐⭐ Easy: ⭐⭐

Instructions

  1. Cut the butternut in 2, remove the seeds and cut in medium sized cubes. Mix with olive oil and salt and roast in the oven or airfryer until soft.
  2. In the meantime, cook the rice with a bouillon blokje. For basmati rice, put the rice and 1.5x its weight in cold water in a pan. Crumble the bouillon blokje and mix it in. Put a lid on the pan, heat on high heat until it boils then put on the lowest heat. After ~8 minutes (or whenever all the water seems absorbed), turn the heat off and let the rice rest with the lid on for at least 10 minutes. (~8 minutes cooking + 10 minutes resting)
  3. Cook the onion in a frying pan for 5-10 minutes, add the garlic, chili and ras-el-hanout and fry for 30 seconds. (5-10 minutes)
  4. Add the cranberries, butternut and rice.
  5. Serve with fresh herbs.
