Just a touch of saffron and oregano gives the sweet jasmine rice the most exotic taste.
Saffron Rice
Servings: 2 | Serving size: 1/2 cup rice
Cooking Time: 30 Minutes
This recipe can easily be multiplied but the rice doesn't keep well.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 30 threads saffron
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 cup jasmine rice
In a medium sauce pan, heat the water, salt, saffron and oregano. When the water boils stir in the jasmine rice.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for about 15 minutes.
Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.
When a very small amount of liquid remains, remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
