Best Classic Saffron Rice Recipes
CLASSIC SAFFRON RICE
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.

CLASSIC SAFFRON RICE
Saffron is the stigma of the fall-flowering crocus. These stigma are worth thousands of dollars per pound. Saffron is so valuable because it is a very labor-intensive crop; only 5-7 pounds of saffron can be produced from each acre of land. This makes saffron the most expensive spice by weight.
