Shole Zard

Ingredients:

1 cup white basmati rice
7 cups water
a pinch of salt
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons rice syrup
1/4 teaspoon saffron, crushed and steeped in a bit of water
1 tablespoon vegan butter
2 tablespoons rosewater
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
cinnamon
slivered almonds or pistachios, toasted

Wash the rice several times until clear, to remove starch. Transfer to a saucepan with the water and salt and cook until rice is very tender. Stir in the sugar, rice syrup, and saffron. Cover and allow to cook until liquid is reduced, adding more if needed. Stir in the butter, rosewater, and cardamom. Remove from heat and transfer to serving bowls. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nuts. Serve cold.
