Shirin Polów (Sweet Rice)
  1. Prepare the rice the night before by soaking them in water and salt for one night.
  2. On the next day, strain the water, put the rice in the boiled water with a couple spoonfuls of salt.
  3. Let it boil until it is soft but not too mushy.
  4. Always strain the little bubbles on it.
  5. When the rice is ready, strain it, and let the water run through it so all the bubbles that come up on it will be strained.
  6. Put the rice in a bowl.
  7. Heat up a little bit of olive oil with a little bit of salt.
  8. Take a pita bread, make it flat, and put it right on the oil without getting your hand burned. Turn it over to cook the other side also.
  9. When the bread gets a little bit tender, put the rice over it.
  10. Put the lid on, cover the pan and let the rice steamed and become fluffy (just remember that there must be a 1 inch space between the cover and the rice so that the warm moisture comes up and stays and cooks the rice).
  11. Use low heat, about minimum, and let it cook for about 15 minutes.
  12. Meanwhile, take the dates, take out the pit from it, and slice it as thinly as possible.
  13. Put the sugar in the water. Let it boil. Stir a little bit to let the sugar melt.
  14. When the water is boiled, add in the orange peel. Let it sit for about 3-4 minutes.
  15. Mix the almond with the pistachios, and then with the berries.
  16. When the rice is ready, after about 15 minutes, mix all the almond, the pistachios, and the berries with the rice.
  17. Mix the saffron powder with hot water, stir it well, and then pour it on the rice and let it soak for a few minutes.
  18. Mix the rice evenly.
  19. If in case the bottom is burnt, to get the smell out of it, take 1 slice of toast, toast it, and put it into the pot and cover it. And that bread takes all the smell away. Take the bread out and serve it like nothing happened.
  20. Place the rice on a big plate, and put the orange peel on top of it.
  21. Cover the rice a little bit for a few seconds so that the smell gets into the rice and stays really sweet and nice.
  22. Mix the date with the rice and also for garnish.
  23. Ready to be served.
