'''(Sholeh Zard)'''

'''Saffron Rice Pudding'''

==Ingredients==
* 2 Cups Basmati Rice
* 6-8 Cups Water
* 2-4 Cups Sugar (to taste)
* 1 Tbsp Saffron
* 3 Tbsp Hot Water
* 1⁄4 Cup Butter
* 1⁄4 Cup Rose Water
* 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
* 1⁄4 Cup Slivered Almonds
* 2 Tablespoons Pistachios, Slivered or Chopped (Optional)

==Directions==
# Put the rice in a large bowl and rinse with cold water until the water is mostly clear (usually 3 times) draining the starchy water with each rinse.
# Put the rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil, skimming the top to remove excess starch a couple times while cooking. Cook for 20-30 minutes or until the rice is tender.
# Add sugar while stirring constantly, it will thicken like a custard. When the mixture comes to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low.
# In a mortar and pestle grind the saffron with 1 tsp of sugar. Then add the hot water to dissolve the sugar and saffron and add this mixture to the pot.
# Stir in the butter.
# (Optional) If you prefer a smoother rice pudding, a hand blender can be used to smooth the mixture out at this point.
# Stir the mixture over low heat until it is at the desired thickness.
# Add the rose water and the almonds and mix well. Note that most of the rose water will evaporate so stir quickly to incorporate.
# Pour into shallow pan and decorate the top with cinnamon and pistachios. Let cool and serve.
# This is typically served at room temp or out of the refrigerator.
