Shirin Polo (Sweet Rice with Chicken) - Cooking with Yousef

Hi friends, today we are making an absolutely delicious Persian dish called Shirin Polo: sweet rice with chicken. There are several different sweet rice preparations in Iranian cuisine, with slightly different ingredients and going by other names. Shirin Polo uses orange peels as a flavor enhancement. This dish is easily modified to be vegetarian or vegan by skipping or substituting chicken. I loved preparing this one for you, hope you enjoy it, and see you soon! Ingredients list: (3 people) • 3 cups of rice • 3 quarters of chicken (whichever parts you prefer) • 1 onion • 3 or 4 tablespoons slivered pistachio • 3 or 4 tablespoon silvered almonds • 3 or 4 tablespoons of orange peels • 1 teaspoon black pepper • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon turmeric • 2 tablespoon tomato paste • 3 tablespoon sugar • 4-5 tablespoons liquid saffron • 3 tablespoons rose water • cooking oil and/or butter - (Random Search Words to help others find this video: #persiansweetrice #shirinpolo #iraniancomfortfood #persiancomfortfood #iranianfood #persianfood #cwy cooking with Yousef Iranian traditional how to cook )
