SERRESH POLLO (PERSIAN CHICKEN AND RICE WITH FRIED ONIONS, RAISI
This was my introduction to persian cuisine. My DH's first wife is Iranian, and she taught him Persian cooking. He can make several awesome dishes, but this was the first he made after moving i with me, and it still is one of my favourites. It's easy and quick to make, too. Barberries are available in oriental groceries. They are very tart and balance the sweet raisins perfectly. It's not exactly calorie friendly, but worth every bite. Serve with green salad.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- On low heat, melt 2 ounces of the butter, add salt and pepper to taste and baste chicken thighs with molten butter.
- Bake thighs at 400 degrees F for about 45 minutes.
- While thighs are baking, prepare basmati rice.
- Some minutes before the thighs are done, slice onions and fry in remaining butter (I know, it's a LOT of butter, but that's correct).
- As soon as onions are translucent, salt to taste, then add raisins, heat through (don't let the mixture burn!), then add barberries, turn off heat and let stand until barberries are warmed, too.
- Place chicken thighs and rice on plates, top rice with onion-raisin-barberry mixture.
- Serve with green salad.
- Enjoy!
