Saffron Rice
INGREDIENTS
Serving size 6-8
- 4 cup basmati rice
- 1 pinch Silk Road Saffron
- 2 cups of vegetable/meat stock or water
- 1 teaspoon whole cumin seed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves or cinnamon
- 1/3 cup of olive oil
- Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
Rinse rice with warm water 3 times to remove extra starch. Then soak in warm water for 15 minutes. Next boil about 2 quarts of water and add rice to boil until grains become softer but still firm (about 5 minutes). Drain rice, and place back into pot. In a separate pan add all of your ingredients and bring it to a boil, then add to your rice. Cover pot and place in the oven to bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Depending on the quality of rice used, quantity of stock/water may need to be adjusted if rice comes out too soft/overcooked or undercooked.
