A sweet-and-savory Persian rice dish, adas polo is made by layering rice with lentils, dates and raisins, then steaming them together. Usually served without meat, it offers a balance of sweet and savory flavors.
Cook the onion in some of the oil over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, until caramelized. Set aside.
Boil the rice in salted water over medium heat for 6-7 minutes, until partly tender, then drain.
Pour a little oil into the bottom of the pot, then layer in the rice, lentils, dates, raisins and cinnamon.
Wrap the lid in a cloth and cover the pot. Steam over low heat for 20 minutes, then adjust the salt.
Top with the caramelized onion and serve hot.
Keep in a covered container in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
