Adas Polo Recipe
Instructions
Step1
Soak your lentils with fresh water before boiling to remove any dust or debris. Step 2
Wash the raisins and pat dry on kitchen paper. Step 3
Cook on a stovetop, using 3 cups of water to 1 cup of dry lentils. Be sure to use a large enough saucepan as the lentils will double or triple in size. Bring to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer until they are tender. For whole lentils, cook time is typically 15-20 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside. Step 4
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil. Fry the onion until it’s golden. Add the ground beef and cook until it’s light brown. Add the salt, cinnamon, turmeric, and saffron. Stir until ground beef is cooked completely. Reduce the heat and add the raisins and dates and stir. Set aside. Step 4
Pour 6 cups of water in a large nonstick pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and salt, leave to simmer, uncovered, on a medium heat, until all the water has been absorbed and holes start to appear on the surface of the rice (approximately 10 minutes). Step 5
Tip the rice into a shallow dish. Gently fold the lentil and raisin mixture into the rice and add 3 tablespoons of the liquid saffron. Step 6
Return the saucepan to the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Spoon the lentil and rice mixture over the layer of potatoes. Keep the rice in a pyramid shape and away from the sides of the pan as much as possible. Wrap the lid in a clean tea towel and place it firmly on the pan. Leave to steam on a low heat for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Step 7
Transfer the rice to a serving dish.

Despite the nutritional value of eggs, there are some potential health issues arising from cholesterol content, salmonella contamination, and allergy to egg proteins. Ingredients Large eggs Instructions Place eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and turn the heat off.
