Sabzi Polo Bah Mahi Recipe (with Video)

Method for preparing rice and herbs
1. Rinse and drain rice until the water runs clear. Let soak in water for an hour.
2. Wash all the herbs–scallion, dill, parsley, and cilantro. Make sure they are all 100% dry before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
3. Bring a pot of water to a boil with enough salt so that it tastes like the sea. Add rice and cook for 7 minutes. Strain and run cold water over it to stop the cooking.
4. Crush saffron and let steep in ice, let the ice melt.
5. Finely chop herbs using either a food processor or knife. Save a cup of the herbs and set aside. Add the rest to a large mixing bowl, along with the rice. Mix to fully incorporate.
6. To a non-stick pot, add saffron water, oil, and turmeric. Layer rice in and make 7 holes halfway down, evenly spread out. Stuff a garlic clove into each hole. Cover the pot with a towel and lid.
7. Cook over medium high for 10 minutes then low for an additional 50.
