Adas Polo – Linsen-Reis aus dem Iran

Adas Polo – Lentil Rice from Iran

Pane-Bistecca
Adas polo is a traditional Iranian dish made from rice and lentils, often with meat, herbs and spices. It is considered one of the most popular dishes in Iranian cuisine. My sister Marisa cooked it for me, I loved it very much!

Adas Polo is not only delicious, but also a healthy dish. The lentils used in this dish are rich in protein, fiber and important nutrients, while the rice is a good source of complex carbohydrates. The spices also contribute to health by reducing inflammation and stimulating the metabolism.

This was served with beef, which is rich in iron, so get to the stove, the cooking here is very healthy!

Step 7

Quench the rice cooker pan briefly to loosen the crust. Scoop out the inside onto a plate, then serve the crust separately on a plate.

Notes

Alternatives:
– In a rice stove, add rice and lentil mixture alternately and cook. Either serve the meat separately or, even better, arrange it on the plate with the rice and spread the meat sauce over the rice/meat at the end. This alternative makes the lentil dish a little less dry.
– Cook with chicken thighs instead of beef with the same spices and serve as in the first alternative.
– Cook with minced beef mixed directly with rice and lentils in a rice stove.
