Fill another pot with water and drizzle in a tablespoon of oil. Once the water is boiling, put the rice in and once soft, strain it. Sauté barberry in a saucepan with drops of oil, 2 tablespoons of water, and a pinch of saffron powder. In another saucepan, sauté raisins and slices of carrots and then cook with sugar and lemon juice.
