Persian rice with broad beans, baghali polo, is fragrant, green and yellow with dill and saffron. It’s a classic Iranian side dish for lamb shanks but who cares about lamb? Baghali polo is all you will want.

I’m looking forward to home cooking after eating out on hols: summery, picnicky dishes. Tacos or salads, Mexican rice or baked mushroom rice and low temp roasting: you don’t want the oven blasting full steam when it’s hot outside.
