Saffron is good on Rice. Shame it's so fucking expensive. I only eat it in a regular basis cause my aunt bought me a 75 gram bag in a street market in turkey when she went there. Was still somewhere around 50US$.

Put it in sauces, on meat, use it for marinades, on rice. Pretty much anything you'd use spices for
>>
>>7804987
Put a pinch in your rice cooker and add chicken broth and maybe orzo

>>7804987
All of these people saying put it in rice don't listen to them. this is the most foul fucking herb/spice whatever you want to call it on the planet. It's rare because no one fucking wants it but media tries to make a big deal of it.

I've only ever used it to make paella.

It's not really anything special. It's just very difficult to produce.

Fuck up whatever you're making.

It has a distinct earthy aroma that goes well with savory dishes. It is in no way extreme in flavor like posters here make believe. You will recognize it as a staple of local cuisines from North Africa to India, even if you don't know what it is.

>>7804987
Carefully roast it in some melted butter to make pilaf with.

It's the stamens inside saffron flowers. It's very flavorful but expensive because it must be hand picked with tweezers.
>>
Use it on paella
