    I have not tried this yet but Nekkie loves it.
    I will get back to you after I give it a whirl.

    List of Ingredients





    1/2 tsp crushed saffron threads
    3 tbsp water
    1 tbsp butter
    1/3 c currants or raisins (optional)
    1/4 c shelled chopped pistachios or pine nuts
    3 c chicken stock
    1 lg pinch of cinnamon
    1 1/2 c long grain basmati rice

    Recipe




    Dissolve saffron in water. Melt butter in medium-large saucepan, add the currants, nuts and rice. Stir over low heat for several minutes then add the chicken stock and dissolved saffron. Stir once, raise the heat and bring to a boil. Then lower heat, cover and simmer for 35 minutes.
