Zereshk Polo is a traditional Persian /food  made with saffron-infused basmati rice, barberries (called "zereshk"), and often served with tender, flavorful chicken or lamb. The dish gets its unique taste from the slightly tangy, tart flavor of the barberries, which are small, ruby-red berries. The rice is typically layered with a mixture of sautéed barberries, caramelized onions, and a hint of sugar to balance the sourness. This dish is a staple at Persian gatherings and celebrations, offering a delicious combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors.
