Fragrant sweet pilaf with dried fruits, spices and a citrus note. A perfect combination of oriental spices and natural sweetness.

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. Soak in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain.

  3. Heat the oil in a thick-bottomed pan. Fry cloves, cinnamon, star anise and chili over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add rinsed rice, turmeric, cardamom and barberries. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring.
  5. Pour in water, add sugar, salt, dried fruits and orange zest and flesh. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15–18 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
  7. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh mint before serving.
