My husband usually looks at ethnic seasonings (read: anything that's not salt & pepper) as creepy and weird. Not when it smells this good! This stuff makes my apartment smell wonderful and spicy (if you like that sort of thing. If you don't, then pop another frozen pizza in the microwave and be done with it).
- 1 cup basmati rice (just buy the 25lb at Costco already!)
- 1/2 tsp saffron threads
- 3 tbsp butter
- one 1-inch stick, cinnamon
- 3 whole cloves (I used 5!)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
If you have a rice cooker, just add everything and cook to instructions, stirring occasionally to make sure it's mixed well. Otherwise, just follow the instructions on the bag of rice. You're basically just making rice, the added spices and such don't really change a thing in terms of the process. That's why I like it!
New flavor without having to learn anything. Lovely.
