This is a riff on the traditional Persian rice dish called tahdig, which is tinged golden from saffron and cooked on the stovetop to develop a crusty rice base.
If you love the crunch of toasted rice, then this is for you. Our version is a mix of brown rice, lentils and wild rice, boosted with pistachios and tart sour cherries and topped with pomegranate seeds. Loaded with complex carbs, the addition of lentils makes this meal a complete protein. This is a great dish to eat before a big race or workout.
