Sabzi polo (Persian herbed rice with broad beans)
About this recipe: This is a Persian dish which I often make for my husband. Rice is slowly simmered with fresh dill, parsley and coriander, along with broad beans and spices. In Iran it is traditionally served with fish.

- In a large saucepan bring water to the boil.
- Rinse rice; stir into boiling water. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in dill, parsley, coriander, broad beans, turmeric, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer on lowest heat for 40 to 45 minutes.
Note:
It's normal to end up with crispy rice (called Tadig) on the bottom of the pot after cooking; it's delicious.
