Albaloo Polo – Persian Saffron and Sour Cherry Rice

Albaloo Polo is a fragrant Persian saffron rice dish, topped with gently caramelised sour cherries and golden brown meatballs. You can even add more colour and texture to the Albaloo Polo with slivered pistachios and almonds. 

You can easily make this beautiful rice dish vegetarian by not adding any meatballs. It is more than delicious enough on its own and can also be served as a side dish to chicken! Although, I would consider the chicken to be the side and this gorgeous jewelled rice the main dish.
