Saffron Rice Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Saffron Rice or yellow rice is a delicious rice dish that is flavorful and smells real nice. Saffron rice makes use of saffron threads, which is considered as one of the most expensive spices in the world. No wonder this saffron rice is amazing.

Saffron Rice

Cooking saffron rice is just like cooking your regular white rice on a stove top, except that there are more ingredients involved. The process is simple; all you have to do is place all the ingredients in a pot, let boil and simmer until the rice completely absorbs the liquid. You will need to stir the mixture at the middle of the cooking process to make sure that the ingredients are well distributed. I do this because ingredients such as butter floats and rice on the top part will only be the ones to absorb it – stirring keeps all the ingredients equally spread.

Saffron rice can also be cooked in the rice cooker. All you have to do is perform steps 1 and 2 below and let the rice cooker do the rest.
