Adas Polo – Persian Lentil, Raisin and Date Rice

Adas Polo is a delicious Persian rice dish, that’s adorned with lentils, raisins and dates. The lentils provide a source of protein, while the raisins and dates give the dish its natural sweetness.

It makes a wholesome vegetarian meal, however if you’re not satisfied with the meatless version, you can add mince/ground beef or lamb to it. That’s what I did this time, so that I could tell you how. But if you want my honest opinion, Adas Polo doesn’t need any meat.
