Classic Saffron Rice


This is easy, simple and wonderful. the original recipe which was printed in the spring 2005 penzeys catalog, calls for long-grain rice; however, i liked it much better with basmati. Also, the original recipe called for minced onion but i found it worked very well with dried onion. i indicated that the butter is optional, because i did not add it.

Steps


Rinse the rice well , drain.
In a medium size saucepan , add the rinsed rice and remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil , cover and reduce heat.
Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until stock is absorbed and rice is tender.
Fluff with fork and serve.
