Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chicken broth
1 cup water
Pinch of saffron threads
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup long-grain rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Heat broth and water in a small saucepan over moderate heat until hot, then crumble saffron into liquid and stir. Remove from heat.
  • Cook onion in butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add rice and cook, stirring, until fragrant and pale golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in saffron broth, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes, then fluff rice with a fork and fold in almonds.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a little too much saffron. Other than that, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The rice was overcooked and the almonds were too crunchy. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of rice.
