Saffron Rice
This basic (but delicious) saffron rice recipe can be served as a side dish or used to stuff poultry (we put it in Cornish game hens).
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 tbsp Shallot, minced
- 1/4g High Quality Saffron Threads or Powder
- 1 cup Long Grain Rice
- 3 1/2 +1/3 cups Chicken Stock
- 1 pinch Kosher Salt
DIRECTIONS
1
Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the shallot and sweat until translucent.
2
Add the saffron and the rice. Toast the rice, while stirring, until it smells nutty.
3
Add the salt and the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer.
4
Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked through.
5
Serve hot, or (if using as a stuffing) move the rice to a separate bowl or pan to cool.
