Baked Persian Rice image

A wonderful blend of flavors. I love rice, but my husband is not fond of it plain so I look for flavorful ways of preparing it and he really enjoyed this. I used jasmine rice, which is a long-grain but cooks much like a short-grain, and I left mine in the oven for almost 1 1/2 hours to get the golden crustiness I wanted. I like the fact that this can be baked unattended while the rest of the meal is being prepared, eliminating some of the last minute dinner prep. This was improvised from a recipe in The Cook's Bible by Christopher Kimball.

I'm not a big fan of Persian food but this recipe changed my mind. The rice was so flavorful and aromatic, and the tahdig was the best part. It was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I'll definitely be making this again.
