Saffron Rice
What you need
- 1 cup rice
- a pinch of saffron
- butter
- 2 cups stock
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Soak the saffron in a spoon of hot water. Fry the rice in butter, add stock and the saffron water, cover, cook low fifteen minutes, rest ten.
How it feels to make
A pinch of saffron turns the whole pot gold and it feels like showing off.
Mom wrote on the back
Soak the saffron first. Thrown in dry it just sits there looking expensive.
