Baked Saffron Rice
Prep time: 6 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 26 min
Servings: 4
- 2 Red Onions
- 1/2 tsp. Saffron
- 4 tbsp. Natural (Plain) Yogurt
- 4 tbsp. Sun-Dried Tomato Paste
- 4/3 c. White Basmati Rice
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel and finely chop the red onions. Place a 12x10-inch roasting pan on a high heat on the stove, pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, add the onions, and fry for 4 minutes, or until soft and sweet, stirring regularly. Meanwhile, place half the saffron in 2½ cups of boiling kettle water. In a bowl, cover the remaining saffron with 1 tablespoon of boiling water, steep for 10 seconds, then mix with the yogurt and put aside.
- Stir the tomato paste, rice, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper into the onion pan, then pour in the saffron water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, carefully transfer to the oven for 15 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid, fluffed up beautifully, and is golden and crisp on top.
- Spoon the saffron yogurt over the rice, drizzle it all with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, fork and mix it all together, and dish up.
