Cook rice in a rice steamer and set aside. Add vegetable oil to a non stick saute pan on medium heat, saute barberries for 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, sugar, and saffron. Before serving, fork through the rice and add the barberries over the rice. Serve with roasted chicken and a tossed salad.
Introduction
Barberries are rare, tasteful, and healthy. They're very tiny red berries that are sold in dried form. Because these berries are tart, they need a little sugar to balance the taste.
