Neekta's Sholeh Zard: A Gluten-free Dairy-free Persian Pudding!
Hey there, amazing bakers! It's Neekta from Baking with Neekta, bringing you another delightful recipe straight from my Persian heart – Neekta's Sholeh Zard, Gluten-free and Dairy-free Persian Pudding: A Sweet Journey to Delight! 🌹✨
Ingredients:
1 cup Persian rice (washed and soaked for 30 minutes)
2 cups golden cane sugar
1 tbsp rosewater
Slivered almonds
2 tbsp non-virgin coconut oil
1-2 tsp cardamom
Saffron (marinated in boiled water) (about 3-4 tbsp)
Slivered pistachios (for decoration)
Cinnamon (for decoration)
Instructions:
Begin by crushing the rice until the grains are minuscule.
Wash and soak your rice for 30 minutes, then add 8 cups of water. Let it cook until the water is absorbed. Patience is key here; reduce the heat once it starts to boil, and let the rice absorb that goodness bit by bit.
Add in the golden cane sugar, saffron, rosewater, and cardamom. Let it "pudding up," as I like to call it – watch as it transforms into a gooey masterpiece. The rice will practically disappear into the sweetness.
Once it has "puddinged up," add slivered almonds (as much as your heart desires) and the coconut oil. Stir, stir, stir!
The Finishing Touch: Your pudding is now a work of art! Pour it into jars, a pretty serving bowl, or any container that sparks joy. Decorate with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a flourish of slivered pistachios.
Pop it into the fridge and let the flavors mingle overnight. The anticipation is real!
TADA – Pure Bliss! Unveil your creation, and there you have it – the perfect Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Sholeh-zard. It's not just a dessert; it's a journey to delight, crafted especially for those with food sensitivities.
