Advieh berenj, or simply advieh, is a spice mixture that is mainly used in rice dishes. It is a classic Persian spice mixture that has different compositions, such as the Indian garams and the Moroccan ras-el-hanouts.
This advieh berenj is a variant of the famous adviehs from the high plains, to which pistachios and saffron are usually added. In The legendary cuisine of Persia , regarded as the standard of classical Persian cuisine, Margaret Shaida gives the following classic recipe:
- green cardamom
- pistachios
- black pepper
- cinnamon
- saffron
- rose petals and
- some sugar
The use of rose petals originates in the northwest of the country and the Persian plateau. This advieh mixture gives rice dishes a characteristic smell when the advieh is sprinkled over the rice grains while the rice is steaming (!)
Odor and taste
Our advice berenj follows the classic recipe, on the understanding that a warm accent has been added in the form of nutmeg. Saffron and pistachios are missing - often already included in the recipe - but can of course be added fresh and according to your own taste. The aromas of this advice come out best when it is added as described above while steaming the rice, and not used as a topping of steamed rice as is often suggested, as you do with a Japanese furikake, although you can of course it is.
