Persians love fresh herbs. Even the most bitter herbs are handled with aplomb, so the final result is perfectly balanced.
For example, this is a simple rice dish with a whole cup of finely chopped dill.
2 cups basmati-style rice. Cook as usual.
1 cup steamed broad beans. Fresh or frozen not the brown dried type.
1 cup dill, finely chopped.
pinch saffron
salt and pepper to taste.
