Was going through some old saved magazine recipe clippings, and ran across this one called American Biryani. Thought I would try it. It's pretty good. Can't wait to try it with sage and rosemary! It takes awhile but it's worth the time and effort. This recipe as is makes quite a bit, my dutch oven was about 2/3 full, I just don't recall if it is a 5 or 6 quart pot. I'm doing a half recipe next time. You shouldn't be limited to chicken, I see no reason why any meat would not work, but whatever meat you use, leave some fat on it, as the fat truly does add flavor.

This is a dish that is served for celebrations, and it's one of my favorites. I saw chicken biryani and chakauni on a TV show, and got the urge to eat it for the first time in a while. I made it at home to celebrate the anniversary of the day I left India.Basmati rice is ideal, but if you are using regular white rice, make sure to cook it so it's firm since it will be steamed with the chicken in Step 16.When serving on a plate, combine the chicken sauce on the bottom of the pan with the rice evenly.This is even better when served with tomato onion raita or chukauni. For 3 adult sized servings. Recipe by Plabar

Rice is to the Middle East what pasta is to Italy. While rice is a staple in Asian countries, there it is typically served plain; the flavors coming from the sauces for the vegetables, meat or legumes. Iraqi and particularly Iranian rice dishes, on the other hand, are known for their flavours, colours and, especially, their presentation. The way we serve them is something of a ritual. Having more than one rice dish at a meal is not unusual. Sometimes we even make a rice crust on the bottom of a dish so that, when served turned upside down, it looks like a cake.It took me a long time to get used to making a smaller quantity of rice for dinner. When I was growing up, my mother would serve everyone a big mound of rice topped with whatever stew she had cooked that day. We’d eat the rice with a spoon or by scooping it up with a piece of hubus, or flatbread. I guarantee you that in any traditional Iranian home you’ll find a huge pot of rice on the stove.The Iranian and Iraqi method of preparing rice: partially cooking it, draining it, then returning it to the pot with fried onion and a touch of water and continuing to cook it very slowly. This method results in delicious dry, almost crispy, rice, but it is time-consuming and the rice loses some of its nutritional value.Here’s my way:

Awesome persian inspired side dish. Would be great served with some grilled chicken. Lastly, saffron is pricey but its flavor is different from anything you've tasted; it's worth the price in my opinion :)

All you have to do is put it in the rice cooker and bring out the color. My friend gave me that advice.Heat the saffron and add some hot water to make the color pretty.If you're worried about the rice getting sticky, add vegetable oil and fry it up to flake the grains. Recipe by Kuminchan

I served this with my shooters sandwich

I always make this anyway so I decided to turn it into a recipe.If you don't like white wine you can use water instead. The aroma and the colour of the finished rice will vary depending on which brand of saffron you use. Recipe by Cookie shiasu

Very yummy boil with the bone to get most flavor as possible.

This roll is made from rice, fresh vegetables & cooked beef.
