Yummy Sweet Crispy Picnic Rice

What Is Tahdig (Persian Rice)? How to Cook Persian Tahdig at Home - 2022 -  MasterClass

Super yummy topped with cherries, this rice is super delicious and picnic perfect. Made with my favorite basmati rice, this rice is yummy with any protein such as spicy juicy chicken.

  • 1 tsp saffron threads 
  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 1 to 2 tbsp Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoon whole milk yogurt (Greek or otherwise) 
  • 2 tbsp grape seed oil, or any healthy neutral-tasting oil of your choice 
  • 1 cup dried cherries, finely chopped 
  • Grated zest of 1 orange 
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3 tbsp pistachios, roughly chopped for garnish
  • Mix the saffron into 1 cup very warm (but not hot) water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to let the saffron release all of its flavor.
  • In a sieve, rinse the rice under cool running water until the water has no color. 
  • In a large pot, combine 8 cups of water and the salt (this is your one shot to season the rice itself). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook until al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the rice. 
  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the cooked rice, the yogurt, grapeseed oil, and 2 tablespoon of the saffron water. Mix thoroughly. 
  • Spread the rice-yogurt mixture evenly on the bottom of a 8-inch lidded nonstick pot. Sprinkle 1 cup of the remaining cooked rice on top, followed by 2 tablespoons of the dried cherries, a pinch of orange zest, and a pinch of cinnamon. Add another layer of rice and repeat with the cherries, orange zest, and cinnamon, reserving a couple tablespoon of the cherries for garnish. As you go about layering, the rice will start to dome and look “pointy” in the middle–that’s okay! Keep it that way. Complete it by dotting the top with the butter and pour the rest of the saffron water all over the top.
  • Wrap the lid in a kitchen towel and secure it around the handle with a rubber band. Cover the pot and cook over low heat, 25 to 30 minutes or until the rice around the edges is golden and crispy; it’s okay to peek under the lid! Be sure not to burn the bottom layer of the rice, though you do want a nice crust in the bottom. 
  • Remove the lid, invert a large serving plate over the pot, and carefully flip them over together. If it sticks, just scrape it out and run with it! Sprinkle the rice with the reserved dried cherries and pistachios and serve right away.

  • Thanks for discussing your ideas. I would also like to say that video games have been ever evolving. Today’s technology and inventions have made it simpler to create sensible and interactive games. These types of entertainment games were not actually sensible when the concept was first of all being used. Just like other styles of technology, video games also have had to develop by way of many generations. This is testimony to the fast development of video games.

  • **百家樂:賭場裡的明星遊戲**

    你有沒有聽過百家樂?這遊戲在賭場界簡直就是大熱門!從古老的義大利開始,再到法國,百家樂的名聲響亮。現在,不論是你走到哪個國家的賭場,或是在家裡上線玩,百家樂都是玩家的最愛。

    玩百家樂的目的就是賭哪一方的牌會接近或等於9點。這遊戲的規則真的簡單得很,所以新手也能很快上手。計算牌的點數也不難,10和圖案牌是0點,A是1點,其他牌就看牌面的數字。如果加起來超過10,那就只看最後一位。

    雖然百家樂主要靠運氣,但有些玩家還是喜歡找一些規律或策略,希望能提高勝率。所以,你在賭場經常可以看到有人邊玩邊記牌,試著找出下一輪的趨勢。

    現在線上賭場也很夯,所以你可以隨時在網路上找到百家樂遊戲。線上版本還有很多特色和變化,絕對能滿足你的需求。

    不管怎麼說,百家樂就是那麼吸引人。它的玩法簡單、節奏快,每一局都充滿刺激。但別忘了,賭博最重要的就是玩得開心,不要太認真,享受遊戲的過程就好!
