You know you love Farideh, now meet her dad: Farideh and her father Manouch make Persian steamed rice with tahdig, the crispy golden crust from the bottom of the pot. Farideh prepares the rice by soaking it and boiling it till semi-cooked, while Manouch chimes in with his tahdig tips and tricks. Together, they add the partially cooked rice into a pan lined with olive oil, butter, saffron, and turmeric. The result is perfectly fluffy rice with a crispy, savory crust. Manouch approves.
