Havij Polo (Persian Carrot Rice)
Havij polo is a Persian favorite with carrots, rice, and meat. There are no "exotic" ingredients to buy. It is worth the trouble as my Iranian husband and my 2 kids love it, and they are very picky eaters. Iranians generally use more rice, but we like more carrots and less rice.

Cook's Notes:
Margarine can be used in place of butter, and lamb can be substituted for beef.
Some people peel and thinly slice regular carrots, but to save time, I use baby carrots and zap them in the microwave for 2 minutes to make them easier to grate using a food chopper, blender, or food processor.
