Classic Saffron Rice
By: PaulaG

This is easy, simple and wonderful. The original recipe which was printed in the Spring 2005 Penzeys catalog, calls for long-grain rice; however, I liked it much better with basmati. Also, the original recipe called for minced onion but I found it worked very well with dried onion. I indicated that the butter is optional, because I did not add it.

Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Rinse the rice well, drain.2
In a medium size saucepan, add the rinsed rice and remaining ingredients.3

Fluff with fork and serve.

A great Saffron Rice, just what I was seeking for my Tandoori Chicken dinner. I added the butter and used minced onion, the flavour was fantastic. Will be making again.

Perfect! Just what I was looking for...easy but with great flavor. I didn't have saffron so substituted turmeric and skipped the butter. Will make this again and again. Thanks.

Easy and wonderful! I made it in my rice cooker which only requires 1 1/4 cup of liquid per cup of rice. I have saffron powder so I just mixed it in the broth and poured it over the rice & onions. I sauted the cooked rice in a little butter & oil to finish it off. Next time I will saute fresh chopped onions in the butter & oil and then toss in the cooked rice. I also think I prefer jasmine rice over basmati, so will use that next time too. Thanks!
