This delicious and easy saffron rice recipe is perfect if you're new to cooking with saffron. Saffron rice highlights the savory yet subtle flavor of saffron. Our version combines saffron with basmati rice and chicken stock, but you can use any type of rice. Vegetable stock or bouillon can also be used for a vegetarian version.
