Arrr! Aye! Sea! Eee!

Roughly based on a recipe for "Persian baked rice" I found online somewhere.


You will need
  • 1 Cup rice
  • 1 Tbsp butter, cut into thin slices
  • 1.5 Cup water
  • 2 Doz black peppercorns
  • 4 Cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • An ovenproof lidded pot
Preheat oven to 350.
Put all except butter in pot. Put pot on stove. Bring to boil.
Add butter, cover, put in oven.
Wait 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven. Scrape and mix in any rice that is sticking to sides and bottom of pot. Remove peppercorns if you can find them. Serve.

It's tan and tasty.

I also used coriander, but it didn't seem to contribute. Cardamom might be an excellent addition, though.

I served leftover lamb stew over this, and it was delightful.
