Sabzi polo
Iranian rice and herb dish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sabzi polo (Persian: سبزی پلو) is a Persian dish of rice and chopped herbs, usually served with fish.[1] In Persian, sabzi refers to herbs or vegetables (sabz means "green"); polo is pilaf, a traditional Persian style of cooked rice.
The herbs used in sabzi polo vary, but typically include coriander, dill, chives or scallions, fenugreek, garlic and parsley. It can be made from both fresh and dried herbs.
Iranians traditionally eat sabzi polo with māhi sefid ("white fish", the Caspian kutum) for lunch on Nowruz, the Persian New Year, with their family and relatives. It usually is served with pickled garlic and other traditional pickled herbs and vegetables.
