Middle Eastern 15 Mins Prep · 25 Mins Cook
- Rinse the rice at least three times. Set aside.
- Zest and juice the lemons. Chop all the herbs and place in a large bowl along with the lemon zest.
- Fill a large non-stick pot with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Place over a high heat, cover with a lid and bring the water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the rice to the water and cook for 7-8 minutes until the grains are soft on the outside, but still firm on the inside. Drain using a colander and mix half the herbs with the rice.
- Place the pot back on a medium heat and make sure it’s dry. Pour the oil into the pot to heat.
- Scoop the rice and herbs back into the pot. Bring most of the rice to the middle, shaping it into a mound. Using the edge of a spatula, make 5 holes in the surface of the rice to let the steam out.
- Pour the water around the edges. Wrap the lid in a clean towel and put it on the pot. Steam the rice for 15 minutes, until the steam comes out from the bottom of the pot.
- Pour the vegetable oil on the rice, cover and steam for a further 20-30 minutes on a low heat.
- Unmould the rice onto a platter and break the tahdig into pieces.
- Toss with the salad leaves.
- Sprinkle with the remaining herbs and squeeze the lemon juice over and drizzle with the olive oil.
