In this class we go in depth with one classic Persian dish: Baghali Polo ba Machiche - Persian Saffron Rice with Dill and Broad Beans served with Lamb Shanks. If you don’t have access to broad beans, you can also prepare a variation of this dish, which uses fresh or frozen peas instead. This version of the rice dish is called Nokhod Polo. The class is broken down into small steps, that will help you not only how to master this tasty dish, but give you an idea of Persian cuisine in general. If you can prepare Baghali Polo, you automatically know how to make light and airy Persian saffron rice. In the class I show you all the tips and tricks for gorgeous fluffy rice, as well as golden crispy tahdig. Tahdig is the crispy part of the rice from the bottom of the pan. If you master the preparation of tahdig, you’re already an expert at Persian cooking.I explain not only what to do, but also why we do different things, so that you understand Persian cuisine at a deeper level. Persian cuisine is full of flavour and well worth giving a go. Wether you already know this or are curious and want to try something new, this class is for you. It is created with all different cooking skill levels in mind. You don’t need to be experienced in the kitchen to participate. Iexplain everything step by step and should you still have any questions, you can of course always reach out to me. I’m always happy to help.
