عدس سبز ریز صدف — ۶۸۰ گرم

Sadaf Fancy Green Lentils (adas-e sabz-e rize — small green lentils) are premium-grade small green lentils — firm, earthy, and subtly peppery, with the exceptional shape-holding quality that makes green lentils the preferred lentil for Persian cooking. Unlike red or yellow lentils that cook quickly to a soft, porridge-like consistency, green lentils retain their shape and a pleasant, slightly firm bite after cooking, making them the essential lentil for dishes where a distinct, textured lentil is needed in the final result. The most iconic and beloved Persian green lentil dish is adas polo — the fragrant Persian lentil rice made by layering cooked green lentils with fluffy basmati rice, sweet raisins, slivered dates, caramelised onion, and warming spices, served alongside chicken or lamb for a beautifully balanced dish of sweet, savoury, and earthy notes that is one of the most celebrated and frequently requested Persian rice dishes. Green lentils are also used in ash-e adas (Persian lentil soup), in hearty everyday soups and stews, in warm lentil salads dressed with olive oil and herbs, and in Middle Eastern mujaddara (spiced lentil and rice with fried onion). Sadaf’s “Fancy” grade denotes premium-quality, consistently sized lentils with minimal debris. The generous 680gr bag is a practical everyday size; soak briefly before cooking to reduce cook time.

Cook green lentils until just tender but still holding their shape, then layer with basmati rice, caramelised onion, raisins, slivered dates, and a pinch of cinnamon for the classic Persian adas polo — serve alongside saffron-braised chicken or lamb for the full traditional presentation, simmer with onion, turmeric, lemon, and herbs for a nourishing, earthy ash-e adas Persian lentil soup, dress warm cooked lentils generously with olive oil, lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs for a classic Middle Eastern warm lentil salad served as a meze or side dish, prepare mujaddara by combining cooked lentils with rice and a generous pile of deeply caramelised fried onion for a simple, deeply satisfying Middle Eastern comfort dish, add to vegetable soups and stews as a protein-rich, shape-holding legume base, or use in grain and legume salads alongside roasted vegetables, feta, and a herb vinaigrette for a hearty, nourishing everyday salad. The essential Persian lentil — firm, earthy, and made for adas polo.
