This Blend contains a mix of
Paprika, Ground Tumeric, and
Saffron Powder.
Boil 1 3/4 cups water in a large
pot. Add the rice to the boiling
water, return to a boil for 2
minutes, then cover and simmer
on low heat. Simmer the rice for
18 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes
then fluff with a fork. One cup
dry yields 3 cups cooked.
This easy recipe for saffron
rice hails from the south of
asia, where it is often eaten
with roast chicken. Saffron rice
makes dinner extra special, and
is nearly as easy to make as
regular rice. You needn't own a
rice cooker to make this recipe
either - it's boiled in a pot on
the stove, but tastes every bite
like steamed rice! And unlike
most saffron rice recipes, this
one is fat-free. Because saffron
is so expensive, I only use a
little bit, then enhance the
color by adding turmeric - a
spice which also has incredible
health benefits. Enjoy!
