\nCook your lentils. Add the water and lentils into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Cook for about 25-30 mins or until tender. Add salt to your likings then set aside
\nStep two:<\/strong>
\nCook your rice. Bring your water to a boil, add some salt and add your rice.
\nCook for about 20 mins or until the rice is 3\/4 way cooked.
\nDrain and set aside.
\nStep three:<\/strong>
\nAdd some oil into a pan, add your onions and cook on medium high, stirring occasionally.
\nOnce the onion is caramelized add your dates, add some saffron water and set aside
\nFinal step<\/strong>
\nAdd some butter to the bottom of your pan (it\u2019s better to use none stick).
\nArrange your potato on top and let it sear for a min. Then start layering the rice, lentil and onions.
\nPoke some holes in the rice and pour the saffron water in the wholes.
\nAdd some butter. Cover the pan tightly with a cloth on it to absorb all of the steam.
\nCook on low for about 30-40 mins. (The longer you cook, the crispier the bottom will be)
\nFluff your rice with a fork. Serve and garnish with the remaining \u201cPiyaz Dagh\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
