A flavorful and vibrant saffron rice recipe that's easy to prepare and perfect for any meal.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil adds a rich flavor to the dish.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the rice and cook for a few minutes until lightly toasted.
Toasting the rice enhances its nutty flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the saffron threads. Stir to combine.
Soaking the saffron in warm water beforehand releases its full flavor.
Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let the rice cook until the liquid is absorbed.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to ensure even steaming.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Fluffing the rice prevents it from clumping together and keeps it light and airy.
