Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the rice a few times to remove the starch; until the water is clean. Then keep it soaked in water with 1 tbsp of salt for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, put water to boil in a pot.
- 2
Add the rice to the pot and cook it in the boiling water for ~6 minutes or until it's soft from outside but still hard inside. Meanwhile, add 2 tbsp of warm water in a cup and add the saffron; this will tint the water.
- 3
Take the rice out of the pot when ready and put 1/3 of the semi cooked rice in a mixing bowl along with the saffron water and gently mix it to tint that part of the rice.
- 4
Add 2 tbsp of butter to an empty put along with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Put it in medium high heat until the butter melts and then add the saffron rice on a single layer. Then on top of that add the rest of the (white) rice trying to make a conic / bell shape. Make some "holes" to the bottom to steam it properly and add the rest of the butter on top. Cover it (ideally with a cloth between the pot and the lid) and cook it for ~20 minutes or until a crust is formed on the bottom and sides.
- 5
Lower the hear to medium low for another 20 to 30 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and dry. Uncover it and put a dish or tray on top of the pot and then flip it.
