Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups medium or long grain rice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 large onion (chopped OR 1 large scallion, sliced or chopped)
2 to 4 cloves garlic (pressed or finely chopped)
1/4 cup fresh or frozen peas*
1 red or yellow bell pepper (chopped*)
1 carrot (peeled and chopped*)
1 or 2 small pieces (2 to 3") of cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
4 1/2 cups (about 1 liter) of chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a sauce pan, heat the stock almost to boiling and hold warm.
  • Heat the saffron threads carefully for a minute in a small skillet, just until dry enough to crumble. Crush them and add to the stock.
  • While the stock is heating, combine the remaining ingredients in a deep skillet or 4-quart pot.
  • Cook the rice and vegetables over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the rice begins to color.
  • Add the stock and saffron to the rice, stirring only once. Bring the stock to a simmer and taste for salt. Adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • Cover the rice, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently and undisturbed, for about 25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork, and serve.
  • Enjoy.
