Iranian Jeweled Rice (Javaher Polow)

Iranian jeweled rice called javaher polow in Farsi is as beautiful as it is delicious. Polow or rice of all types is loved in Persian cuisine and served with every meal. This recipe is no exception. Aptly named, as pomegranate arils, barberries, orange peel, raisins, nuts and oh yes saffron, adorn it. This rice takes a bit of effort but to feel like royalty, well let’s just say it is totally worth the effort. Enjoy!
