Directions
Coriander Rice, An excellent side dish for a Persian meal , I do think this is excellent I was looking for a rice dish I had in a Afghan restaurant and this is basically it used sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, plus the rest of the ingredients The only change I made was adding the sea salt to the water to boil the rice at first I sprinkled a little sumac on top for colour as well as being another Persian ingredient and we had this with grilled fish kebabs as described in recipe#452701 along with the sauce I will make this again as I love the coriander in here , An excellent side dish for a Persian meal
