Rice may not be a staple in all cuisines, but in Asia and most especially in Persian Cooking, it plays a very important role in the meal planning. Prepared to be paired with various dishes (vegetables, seafood and meats), rice meals are planned to fill-up meals that should turn the dining experience extra special. More so, rice dishes make a good source of carbohydrates for energy. Ordinarily, rice is merely boiled. Some rice dishes are merely seasoned for some flavour but in the case of Persian cooking, a true exploration will be experienced because the preparation of Persian Rice requires true devotion. Demanding that the chefs laboriously boil, saute, layer and bake the rice - and with ta myriad of ingredients open to be utilized, the variety is one you can surely look forward to. | Persian rice by Bryan Rylee, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
