    Recipe Introduction


    Serve this aromatic dish as an accompaniment to meat, fish, and chicken dishes. It’s important to use long-grain rice to ensure that the rice is fluffy rather than sticky.

    List of Ingredients




    Saffron Rice With Orange And Nuts


    For the rice

    ¾ cup long-grain rice
    1 cup water
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    2 large pinches of saffron threads, crushed

    vinaigrette

    ¼ cup fresh orange juice
    3 tablespoons hazelnut oil
    2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
    1 teaspoon canola oil
    Zest of 1 orange

    1 orange, cut into thin discs
    ¼ cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
    2 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted
    2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachio nuts, lightly toasted
    2 tablespoons dark raisins
    2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
    Salt to taste

    Recipe




    Combine the rice, water, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then stir in the saffron.

    Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until tender and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Transfer the rice to a medium bowl.

    Whisk together all of the vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over the rice while it is still warm. Add the remaining ingredients and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

    Serve at room temperature.
