{"product_id":"dried-barberries-zereshk","title":"Dried Barberries (Zereshk)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBarberries, known as \u003cem\u003ezereshk\u003c\/em\u003e in Persian, are small ruby-red berries with a sharp, clean sourness closer to cranberry or sumac than to any sweet dried fruit. They are prized as much for their colour as their flavour, scattering a bright jewel-red finish across a dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey are the signature of Persian \u003cem\u003ezereshk polo\u003c\/em\u003e, the jewelled rice served with saffron chicken, where their tartness cuts through the richness of the meat and butter. Beyond that, they lift lamb and chicken stews, rice pilafs, grain salads, roasted vegetables and stuffings, and work in scones, muffins and granola anywhere you would otherwise reach for dried cranberries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use them\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRinse quickly in cold water and drain, since dried barberries carry fine grit from harvesting. To finish rice, soften them in a little butter or oil over low heat for about a minute, just until they plump and turn glossy. They scorch fast, so keep the heat gentle and pull them off early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIngredients: 100% dried barberries.
