Golden Rice Pilaf

• 3 cups chicken broth or 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon saffron thread
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter or 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• salt
• 2 cups long grain white rice
• black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1. Gently warm the stock with the saffron in a small saucepan while you proceed with the recipe.
2. Put butter in a large deep skillet that can later be covered and turn the heat to medium.
3. Add the onion and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns translucent.
4. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is glossy and begins to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Add the warm stock and stir. Bring to a boil, cook for 1 or 2 minutes, then reduce heat to low and cover.
6. Cook for 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
7. Turn the heat to the absolute minimum (if you have an electric stove turn off the heat) and let rest another 15 to 20 minutes.
8. Stir in parsley and lemon juice.
