Comment préparer Iranian Saffron Rice Pudding Sholeh Zard Dairy Free Glu
- Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 8 cups of water. Partially cover and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- In a small bowl, steep 1/2 teaspoon of saffron threads in 2 tablespoons of warm water for at least 15 minutes to release its color and flavor.
- Once the rice is soft and boiling (about 20 minutes), stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until dissolved.
- Add an additional 2 cups of water and stir gently to combine.
- Partially cover and continue cooking over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of canola oil, 1 tablespoon of rose water, and the saffron infusion with its water. Mix thoroughly.
- Continue cooking, partially covered, over low heat for another 20 minutes.
- Remove the lid and stir well. The mixture should thicken into a creamy pudding consistency. All the water should be absorbed.
- Taste and adjust the saffron to your preference – more saffron means richer color and flavor.
- Add 1/2 cup of blanched slivered almonds and continue cooking over medium-low heat until the desired pudding-like texture is achieved.
- Remove from heat. Pour the Sholeh Zard into a large, shallow dish and let it cool completely until a thin, hard layer forms on top.
- Decorate the top with cinnamon powder and chopped pistachios in a decorative pattern.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate until the pudding sets to a jello-like consistency (at least 4 hours, preferably overnight).
- Serve chilled or warm, accompanied by a cup of tea. Enjoy!
