'If there were ever a dish that could sum up my mother's love for me, then it'd probably be zereshk polo.'
Maman would make the chicken for zereshk polo in different ways. Sometimes she'd shred a couple of cooked chicken breasts and mix them with the barberries and sometimes she'd cook a whole chicken or chicken pieces seasoned with spices, including, of course, saffron. This would completely depend on what we had on hand and what my maman felt like cooking that day.
Once I got married, the first dish I made for my husband Kyle was this barberry rice with chicken. It instantly became his favorite dish because it was cooked with lots of love and lots of saffron.Years later, as I’m cooking this dish thousands of miles away from my maman, I hear her words in my head: ”Barberries burn quickly so keep stirring and lower the heat.
