saffron rice

How To Make saffron rice

• Step 1
  Soak the saffron in the hot water for 10-15 minutes.
• Step 2
  Put the rice in a strainer and rinse under hot water until it runs clear. Then rinse again under cold water and leave to drain.
• Step 3
  Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the rice. Sauté until it becomes translucent.
• Step 4
  Add the remaining amount of water and salt, bring to a boil, and add the saffron infusion.
• Step 5
  Stir, cover tightly, and leave to simmer on a very low heat (preferably on a heat diffuser) - for about 20 minutes, until craters from on the surface.
• Step 6
  Stretch a piece of cheesecloth or a dish towel over the top, cover tightly with a lid, and leave in a warm corner to rest for 10-15 minutes. The cloth will absorb the steam from the rice and allow the grains to separate.
