Silk Road Saffron’s Saffron Rice Recipe

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.
