Simple and Flavorful: How to Make Tahdig (Persian Crispy Rice)

If you enjoy crispy foods, then this staple Persian dish is the one for you! Tahdig, or crispy rice, literally translates to "the bottom of the pot." This a layered dish, with crispy rice formed at the bottom and steamed rice above it, flavored with saffron!
Persian Saffron is the best in the world and that's an undeniable fact. Bon Appetit Magazine recently published a story about THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING SAFFRON. Read it here www.bonappetit... And please pay special attention to the author's NOTE in the very beginning. It's crazy how politics can drastically impact the Americans' access to the BEST SAFFRON IN THE WORLD!

🤔I love this dish...my husband not so much...I just scoop the soft rice off the top for him and keep the rest for myself 😁👍

Many say oil is the black gold! I guess in regards to saffron it is safe to say it is the golden gold!
