Persian jewelled rice
Rice 👥 3-4 portions Fast: ⭐⭐ Easy: ⭐⭐
Instructions
- 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.
- 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)
- 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)
- Add the cranberries, butternut and rice.
- Serve with fresh herbs.
