  Herb Rice with Fava Beans
Ingredients:
  6 cups   water
  4 cups   uncooked long-grain white rice
  3 tbsp   vegetable oil
  1/2 cup   water
  1   bunch of fresh dill, chopped
  1   bunch of fresh parsley, chopped
  1   bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
  2 cups   fresh or frozen fava beans
    ground turmeric to taste
    ground cinnamon to taste
  1 tsp   salt
  1 tsp   pepper
Directions:
 

1. In a large saucepan bring water to a boil. Rinse rice; stir into boiling water. Boil just until rice rises to the surface of the water. Drain rice and return it to the saucepan. Stir in the oil and water. Mix in the dill, parsley, cilantro, fava beans, turmeric, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
2. Cook the rice over medium heat for 5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to the lowest setting. Cover and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes. Note: It's normal to end up with crispy rice (called Tadig) on the bottom of the pot after cooking; it's delicious.
