Who is up for some taste bud travel today?!

https://s19.postimg.org/8191fsttf/Persian-_Iranian-_Jeweled-_Basmati-_Rice-_Pilaf-2.jpg Today, there is no passport required. Hop on this steemit train for some taste excitement! https://s19.postimg.org/7gylqupyr/Persian-_Iranian-_Jeweled-_Basmati-_Rice-_Pilaf.jpg I attempted to make this dish as authentic as possible. I did a fair amount of research before starting. Any Persians out there, I welcome your criticism. https://s19.postimg.org/rul58i777/Persian-_Iranian-_Jeweled-_Basmati-_Rice-_Pilaf-3.jpg I prepared this dish as a side to some Saffron Lamb. The lamb was prepared by a friend of mine. We had pre-planned a Persian themed night, and the rice was my contribution. https://s19.postimg.org/t0p57avhv/Persian-_Iranian-_Jeweled-_Basmati-_Rice-_Pilaf-4.jpg My friend has been to Iran, and he said my dish instantly put him back there. https://s19.postimg.org/8s1rlkw6r/Persian-_Iranian-_Jeweled-_Basmati-_Rice-_Pilaf-5.jpg As always, the RECIPE is available upon request. First request gets an upvote. https://s19.postimg.org/gakwu7njn/Persian-_Iranian-_Jeweled-_Basmati-_Rice-_Pilaf-6.jpg ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G.
