Sholeh-zard is a traditional Iranian dessert made with rice, sugar, olive oil, saffron, rose water, pistachios, chopped almonds, and cinnamon. This rich and fragrant dessert is a true delight for the palate.
Wash the rice a couple of times until the water is clear, then drain it completely
Add two cups of water for each cup of rice and bring to a boil, removing the foam
When the rice is completely softened, add the sugar and mix well
Separately, dissolve the saffron in half a glass of hot water and add to the rice along with some warm oil, most of the almonds, and the rose water
Mix well and pour the mixture into either individual molds or a previously buttered cake pan
Bake in the oven at 160 degrees for about half an hour
Serve with chopped pistachios, almonds, and cinnamon on top
