How this kind of dish is made

1. Rinse the rice and soak it in lightly salted water for about 30 minutes.

2. Parboil the rice until partly cooked, then drain.

3. Prepare the meat, herbs, legumes, dried fruit, or other accompanying ingredients separately.

4. Layer the rice and prepared ingredients in the pot, adding saffron or oil if appropriate.

5. Cover and steam over low heat until the rice is fluffy and the other ingredients are cooked through.

6. Gently mix or garnish before serving.

Cook's notes

Prepare the slivered nuts and barberries separately over low heat to preserve their color and texture. Add the garnish just before serving so it stays distinct on the rice.
