Sabzi Polo Bah Mahi
This is the most popular dish among Persians on Nowruz, the Persian new year. Sabzi polo is an herb rice, aromatic and perfect eaten with fish. I served it up with Shirazi Salad and a garlic-herb yogurt sauce. Here I provided the recipe for everything except the fish–just pick your fish of choice and cook it however you’d like. The result is a perfect plate that is healthy and incredibly satisfying. In the spirit of Nowruz, I’m using the high quality rice from Aahu Barah a family-owned company founded by a group of refugees who came to the U.S. from Afghanistan 30 years ago. Them, like my parents who came during the Iranian Revolution, had to start over and create themselves anew when coming here. Eating sabzi polo on Nowruz captures that spirit, as the herbs symbolize rebirth and renewal.
