If you’ve ever wondered how to best incorporate this precious spice into your cooking, prepare to be inspired! Saffron’s unique, slightly sweet, floral, and earthy notes make it a versatile star across global cuisine.
You don’t need a complex recipe to enjoy the magic of saffron. Try introducing it to your daily routine:
- Rice Dishes:
Simply soak a few threads in warm water and add the liquid to any plain rice, pilaf, or couscous for an immediate boost of colour and flavour. Or, simply just add a couple of strands directly to your rice dishes for added emphasis. - Baking and Desserts:
Add a subtle, luxurious twist to sweet treats. Try infusing milk with saffron for custards, ice cream (like Persian Bastani), milk-based desserts, or even simple saffron buns (like the Swedish Lussekatter). - Marinades and Sauces:
Create a magnificent marinade for chicken or lamb, or whisk a tiny amount into a vinaigrette or aioli for a vibrant, aromatic dressing. - Beverages:
Saffron-infused tea, milk, or even a simple saffron-sugar cordial offers a comforting and sophisticated drink. - Sarosh Argo Recommends:
adding both saffron and a little turmeric powder to milk, alongside ginger for boosting immunity and intake of essential nutrients. Suitable for all the family, and recommended for children too.
