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
- Gently warm the stock with the saffron in a small saucepan while you proceed with the recipe.
- Put butter in a large deep skillet that can later be covered and turn the heat to medium.
- Add the onion and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns translucent.
- 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.
- Add the warm stock and stir. Bring to a boil, cook for 1 or 2 minutes, then reduce heat to low and cover.
- Cook for 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- 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.
- Stir in parsley and lemon juice.
