Join Persian Creation Online for a unique cooking class that will teach you how to create delicious Persian chicken rice.
In this workshop, you will learn how to make Chicken Barberry Rice (Zereshk-Polow Ba Morgh), perfect for every day and any special occasion.
Guided step by step by your instructor, Ellie Moazen, you will master the art of making Persian fluffy rice with saffron, garnishing food elegantly, and candying barberry to create visually stunning dishes. Cameras are positioned so you will have a great view of the processes. Question times are every now and then, so everyone can move and cook at the speed of the whole class.
A downloadable PDF of the recipe, including tips to serve and the dish's history, will be emailed to you before the class starts. (Print in colour so you have all of the experience - Persians/Iranians are not minimalist; there are loads of pictures and colours.)
