Advieh Rice spice blend

[sojourner]

I want to get some of this from that spice place I mentioned, but I have no idea what to have with it.

Any ideas chaps?

maomao not so far off in fact. it'd very likely be lovely if you coated sweet potatoes chopped into chips with it

Without knowing what it tastes like it's hard to say but I'd probably try it in some sort of curry. Sauté an onion or two and some garlic, add your spice blend and fry it off a bit, add whatever main ingredient you fancy (aubergine?), cook for a while, then simmer it with coconut milk or tomatoes, or stock ... etc

Except that I want it in rice, and all the suggestions so far aren't funny or helping.

Edit to add: Spy's just made an actual suggestion so not him

my suggestion was a serious one - chop up your sweet potato, roll the pieces in this lovely mix, pop in oven for a bit, remove and enjoy.

The link suggests a stew - this site has loads of Iranian stew recipes and even a recipe for this spice blend itself: Persian Stew Recipes

And once again you completely ignore the bit that says I want it in rice.

Pickman's model stop being a twat

 

[dessiato]

Why not use it to flavour fried rice? It's designed for rice, you want rice, seems a good solution.

oh, i ignored the thing you didn't say until after i'd posted. i can hardly be accused of ignoring what you've said before you said it.

e2a: i still think this stuff would work well with sweet potatoes, but if you're going to use it on rice the the way it'd work would no doubt be the same as pilau rice seasoning, which you can just put in the water as you cook the rice.

Perhaps I didn't explain it properly, although polly seemed to get it immediately. I want suggestions for something to go WITH the rice. Doesn't matter now anyway cos polly posted that link which is perfect.

not at all, i'm very interested by the way you've chopped and changed what you want to do with this spice mix from your original question to using it in rice to using it in something to go with rice.

It's a rice blend. It's for rice. I didn't think that needed emphasis, somehow.

not just for rice - as your link says

try in soups and stews too. and - imo - as a coating on sweet potato chips

 

[sojourner]

blah

To be fair to Pickers, I misunderstood you too. I thought you were looking for an alternative to using it with rice, hence my suggestion. Some good stuff on Polly's link though.

two different posters

Albaloo polo would seem the obvous suggestion, but I'm a little wary to suggest it now...

(other polos are available, and many would do as well)

You have a sockpuppet now? Maybe I should get one... Must be behind the times.

 

[Cid]

On the op... er... Anything vaguely middle eastern by the looks of it. You can wade through the countless gigabytes of Ottolenghi Sunday supplement stuff on the guardian website.

I also thought this was about alternatives to rice

No

 

[Cid]

No

Sure

Sure

If I was going to have a sock puppet I wouldn't call it pickers. Might call it Cid. But not pickers

That looks interesting - might get some and experiment.

The background picture on the page reminds me that I should have a sniff of the jar of star anise I keep in the cupboard. Never use the stuff in cooking, but keep an in-date jar of them because they smell fantastic - the intense aniseed hit you get when you open the jar is perfect.
