Saffron is to Andy as Garlic is to Brad as Fennel is to Carla as Turnips are to Molly as Daikon Radish is to Chris as Chonk is to Priya as Dehydrator is to Claire
That saffron water was effing gorgeous. It looked like a condensed sunset in a bowl. I've never cooked with the stuff before, because it costs more than my entire kitchen did, but now I really want to. Great looking dish, this was actually worth the 18 minutes to see the whole thing.
I always recommend real saffron but you can buy cheap (fake saffron) as well. just to try it out. Also real saffron might be expensive but you only need a little of it. so you can buy a tiny amount which should not set you back a lot.
The rice portion of the recipe was actually a perfect primer for most Pilafs and Biryanis. How to gently prep the rice to bring out its best, and all the other ingredients can be substituted with whatever regional ingredients you want for a biryani or pulao. Very very educational.
@@lepidoptery Pretty much. Pulao/biryani/pilaf/polo all have the same rice prep. Also sabzi means vegetable in Hindi. So sabzi polo means vegetable pulao, which is an actual Indian dish.
Yes, more Andy, please, and this type of cuisine! Also, maybe feature some dishes from African countries as well? Middle East and the entire continent of Africa is so underrepresented in the culinary world.
Middle East is not a continent. It's a geopolitical term. Persian cuisine & culture is Eurasian/central Asian, meaning Persian culture is closer to Georgian, Armenian, Tadjik, Afghani or Uzbeki cuisine than to any other country in Africa or the Arabian peninsula.
kittens😻 actually you are wrong about it not being similar, clearly you have not had Arabian or African food. As an East African there are quite the few dishes that we share. For example what he was doing with the shallots, we do with onions, potatoes, and raisins. Coloring the rice is also another technique that is done all over Africa. However, I do agree with you on the Middle East being a geopolitical construct.
I love and appreciate Andy's take on Iranian foods, as someone who grew up with it. While fully aware of the traditional recipes, he always has an eye for altering them enough to take the dish to the next level.
There is nothing more beautiful than seeing Iranians treating Rice with so much love . it makes me so happy its pure art and poetic the rice is golden and its dancing
Y’all are dumbasses. Iran is 100% in the Middle East. My family is Iranian. My friends are Iranian. Every Iranian person I know identifies as Middle Eastern.
As a kid, I would always go over to my friend's grandmothers house (they're Iranian) and every time she would make this rice dish. I never knew what it was called and now I'm so happy I can make it at home!!!
rick dees have you watched BA videos before? Everyone always interrupts everyone, they're all friends. Who knows how many interruptions have been edited out of videos before.
OuterStratus I’d like to see Andy make Āsh e reshte! It’s a herbal noodle soup, total comfort food, and easier than pedantically prepared Persian rice (which is incredibly delicious, even the plain stuff)
Ok, I'm only going to comment on the dish, not the chef! This is one of the most elegant rice dishes I've ever seen. The layers of flavor with the same main component only changing textures and flavors with the style in which is prepared. Exotic, simple, beautiful. Thanks for sharing this!!!
YES another Persian recipe!! Okay don't know if this is what Andy is into but if he showed how to make traditional Bastani (Persian ice cream with saffron, rose water, and pistachio), I would die of happiness.
What a great smile ,he doesn’t looked pissed to me. Food just seems to taste better made for you , so I myself would prefer him making it and me enjoying it .
Since nobody is talking about the food. The food looks complicated but well thought out. It is definitely good for special occasions, like anniversary celebration. I wish I can make this.
Okay, so the water should be a salty as Chris was with Molly's turnip substitute for carrots in another vid... Although that could be way too salty... 🤔
How fun that you're trying this! 😍It sounds like you're doing it right.. Basmati is the closest you can get and no, don't use premium rice. What's your cooking process? Because the easy way to get the "tahdig"(without a rice cooker) is the way Andy's doing it. Are you maybe adding too much water when you're steaming the rice?
@@Elizabethx15 hmm.... I've experienced that the oil in the bottom of the pot and the heat are the keys. Descent amount of canola and the medium high heat at the beginning of the steaming process. Btw. The feel of rice being al dente is a little bit different than pasta. If we would compare the 2 of them the al dente rice should feel more raw than the al dente pasta.
Elizabethx15 Hi love, you need to get your oil very very hot before your put your rice in the pot to get a good crunchy tahdig, if it doesn’t sizzle loudly, it’s not hot enough. Once you put it on the stove, let it sit for 1 and half minutes to two minutes, then lower heat to medium. It’s all about the heat and good amount of oil
What is I love about this is HES SO HAPPY at the end when he’s done. Very proud of himself, and he should be. This dish is home on a plate. 10/10 I will definitely make this.
I made this last night and just put a layer of rice at the bottom and got perfect crispy rice which mixed in with the rest of the rice. The dish was a big winner!! Thank you Andy!
The saffron my God! In my country everything else is pretty cheap. But damn saffron is sth that even most shop/market owners don't even know what it is. You really have to look
@@mercynamikoye9084 If you can't get saffron, but still want to make it, you can probably skip it or color that 1/3 rice with a bit of water with turmeric and paprika. It won't be the same, of course, but it should still be delicious and beautiful.
@@mercynamikoye9084 you can find them in the same section where all the bottled McCormick's/masterfood spice stuff is. It won't be under those brands but they're usually available in a bottle as well a resealable pack or in a shallow plastic container with gold lettering, at least those are the ones always available where I'm from. It's an ingredient popular in middle Eastern and Indian cooking so try looking in a little-India type grocers.
Made this tonight - and it turned out fantastically. Backed off on the fried shallots and saffron - added barberries, for my family’s personal preferences. The rice was fluffy, separate grained, and bright and alive with fresh herbiness. I tried to make the tahdig with just rice - and though it did not come out in once piece, the nutty crispiness was awesome. Great Persian recipes from Andy!!
That's a lot of work for rice, but it looks amazing so I'm definitely going to try it. I've always LOVED the fantastic, long, fall-apart rice in Indian and Persian restaurants--I mean like I can eat the straight, plain rice and swoon--but have never been able to replicate it at home. This soaking and parboiling technique seems to do the trick. Thanks, Andy!
Andy, we made this dish last night and it was amazing! I used very thinly sliced potatoes instead of lettuce but otherwise, followed the directions. So happy with this new side dish - though to be honest, we ate for more rice than anything else served last night. Thanks for sharing!
I've noticed that too lately. All the other videos play at adequate volume buy Bon Appetites are really low. On my TV speakers and my stereo HiFi hooked up to my TV.
It's def an issue with their volume mixing (not saying I could do better). The spoken channel on their videos seems to be lower than like the ambient channel. I've noticed I have to turn it up on BA videos.
this dish looks delish and andy you are beautiful but please don't let all the comments about your looks cloud the fact that you are an incredible chef with lots of cooking genius!
This sounds amazing. I've always wondered how to make a good herby rice. I've just had dinner but this video has made me hungry again 🍚 My family eat a lot of rice, I feel that my Dad would love this... Guess I'll have to make it for him!
I can’t stand a lot of Andy’s videos but this is beautiful enough to make me briefly forget past crimes. There’s a story here, and there is love, and it’s perceivable. More like this.
Once you eat Persian rice you can't go back . Been making Persian rice my whole life never noticed that there are so many steps that I follow almost every single day .
This is a really famous persian dish that people eat on first day of nowruz holidays.. I never seen this dish without the traditional crispy fried fish and never thought of it as a main dish without that but the way he placed fried onions on the rice kinda made me forgot the lack of fish i mean it seemed really delicious.
I just finished making this recipe, and omg it was delicious and made my house smell amazing. I’ll definitely be making this for Easter dinner. I did make the fried shallot and found that it was too bitter for my taste, maybe I did something wrong? Didn’t end up sprinkling it on afterwards, but did snack on them while the rice cooked 😂
Hey Andy can we please get some more traditional dishes from you? This was incredibly delicious I’ve never had rice like this before. Blew my mind and my tastebuds.
That was so well done. Everything seemed to come out perfectly, I've never seen that before. He definitely knows his ingredients and must cook a lot of vegan dishes. The only thing that I would change is using much less salt, since I can taste it much more than most people.
You guys should really consider captioning your videos before release. It's very hard to hear sometimes, especially if someone without a mic is speaking.
Saffron is to Andy as Garlic is to Brad as Fennel is to Carla as Turnips are to Molly as Daikon Radish is to Chris as Chonk is to Priya as Dehydrator is to Claire
And what tempering is to Chris
as Turnip is to Molly

@@PaperGunner722 😂😂 that's exactly what I wanted to say
As an Iranian American, this video makes me feel so happy! Thank you Andy and BA for putting out a Persian dish!
I have definitely never heard the sentence: "the lettuce has caramelized" before
Paul K Ramsay would be losing his mind
It's very delicious actually:))
Yep cooked lattice is the only thing I can't appreciate after years of eating grilled lattice in my university sandwiches, wish it was an eggplant.
Anastasia Samoylik I made the dish yesterday, it tastes nothing like warm lettuce. It’s crunchy with a smoky flavor. I loved it.
I wish he'd used potatoes or just the rice itself.
That saffron water was effing gorgeous. It looked like a condensed sunset in a bowl. I've never cooked with the stuff before, because it costs more than my entire kitchen did, but now I really want to. Great looking dish, this was actually worth the 18 minutes to see the whole thing.

The swole meal
The most charming chef ive ever seen. So interesting with the
little elements of modernization of this traditional dish, its one of my favourites too!
The rice portion of the recipe was actually a perfect primer for most Pilafs and Biryanis. How to gently prep the rice to bring out its best, and all the other ingredients can be substituted with whatever regional ingredients you want for a biryani or pulao.
Very very educational.
Ok now im craving some Biryanis
I'd assume "polo" has the same roots as pulao/pilaf/etc.
@@lepidoptery Pretty much. Pulao/biryani/pilaf/polo all have the same rice prep. Also sabzi means vegetable in Hindi. So sabzi polo means vegetable pulao, which is an actual Indian dish.

You rinse the rice so excess salt escapes... It's just like you'd do to pasta 🤔😊

Good one
I always love it when Andy and Priya cook their traditional foods. It's always so vibrant and colorful and the recipes are so fragrant.
As much as I love Brad and Claire, Andy is my favourite for helping popularise tahdig! Persian food has been such a culinary underdog.
I'd love to see some Persian dishes that don't involve finnicky rice.
