Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine the pomegranate molasses and sumac. Add the chicken and mix well to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until golden. Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is baking, rinse the rice under cold water. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pot and sauté the chopped onion until soft.

Step 4

Add the rice, cumin, cardamom, and salt to the pot with the onion. Stir well to coat the rice with the spices.

Step 5

Pour in 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and fluffy.

Step 6

Stir in the pistachios into the cooked rice. Serve the chicken over the pistachio rice, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
