I love zereshk! I haven't cooked it in any rice dishes yet (just salads) but I have eaten those amazing celebratory rice and angel-hair pasta dishes that have it and it's so delicious. For those reading this post who aren't sure what zereshk is: it is the persian word for Barberry. It's a small, sour red berry with a big kick of flavour that tastes so good in savoury dishes.

Yes...I wanted to impress you with the Persian name lol yes...it is called barberry or barberries :) occasionally I make rice with zereshk...persian rice...from the same supplier...the rice is heavenly!! The berries are very rich in vit and minerals....as you know :) have a lovely Sunday, Ashleigh :)
oooops...spelling mistake...lol berberis :)
I am very impressed! I would love to read a recipe of yours of the rice with zereshk because it is about time I try making it myself. Yes, the berries are very nutritious, which is probably why I've not rushed into cooking with them yet to keep the nutrients in salads - plus it's still hot weather here in Australia. You have a lovely Sunday too! :)
