Aromatic Saffron Rice
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 pinch saffron threads
  • 3 drops yellow food coloring
Instructions
1
Preheat the saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter. Introduce the onion into the pan, stirring constantly until it has lost its initial firmness and turned a pale shade of white, approximately 5 minutes.
2
Gradually decrease the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the onion with consistent stirring until it has become extremely tender, almost caramelized in color, taking around 20-25 minutes longer.
3
Add the rice to the saucepan and mix it well with the onion.
4
Combine the water, parsley flakes, saffron, and a hint of yellow food coloring if desired into the pan.
5
Lower the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed, taking roughly 30 minutes.
