Ingredients
- 1/2 t saffron pistils
- 1/4 c chicken broth (hot)
- 1/3 c chopped onion (coarsely chopped)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 c chicken broth
- 1 T chicken broth
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/4 t pepper
- 1/4 t ground cumin
- 1/3 t tomato sauce (for color)
- 38 g butter
- 1.5 T chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 c rice (uncooked)
- 1/3 c peas (optional)
Method
Combine saffron pistils and hot chicken broth; set aside to bloom for 2 - 12 hours.
In a blender, add all ingredients (including saffron and its liquid) except for rice and peas. Blend.
In a small pot, bring mixture to a boil. Add rice. Add peas. Simmer on low for 15 minutes.
Notes
Do Not Stir! This will make it mushy.
The full effect of the saffron is had after blooming for 2 hours, but it can be left up to 12, depending on your schedule.
SJ Note 24 Sept 2009: This was only mediocre, but good once we added soy sauce. I've upped the salt, pepper, and cumin in this copy.
SJ Note 9 Feb 2010: This was only vaguely edible after freezing.
