Baachsh - Traditional Bochari Rice, Meat and Coriander Dish image

I'm told Persians make this same recipe with fresh dill instead of coriander. There are three ways to make this dish: (1) as a regular rice dish, (2) as stuffing--do everything but the last stage of simmering and stuff inside a chicken, or (3) as a "sausage"--in this case the meat should be very fatty and you need a good cloth bag to pack the rice into tightly.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon oil, for sauteing
1/4 kg ground beef
2 cups rice
100 g fresh coriander, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups water

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a saucepan and add onion.
  • Sauté onion until it becomes transparent.
  • Add ground meat and stir so it doesn't "clump" together.
  • Stir in turmeric and pepper and let cook for 30 minutes.
  • Add the rice, salt and coriander and mix well until the mixture of rice, meat, onions and coriander is uniform and rice has turned yellow from the turmeric.
  • Add water and leave the mixture to boil until the water has mainly been absorbed, then lower the heat and cover the pot with a towel and then the lid (the towel will absorb the water vapor).
  • Leave to simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice and serve!
