saffron

The original recipe comes from the guardian, but we've modified it to have a base to the pie (!) and also doubled the filling. The original version which we made wasn't particularly deep and we wanted it deeper. Ingredients - Serves 6 4tbs olive oil 4-6 large onions 6 cloves garlic, crushed...

This simple starter is all about subtlety. Its a gentle dish which showcases the mild flavour of each ingredient and complements their creamy, soft texture with the floral taste of saffron. The grated avocado stone is optional. It adds a slight nuttiness as well as being a talking point...

First, a look into my creative process. I accidentally added cannellini beans, because the label was turned, and it was sitting next to the garbanzo beans. I thought for a moment about keeping them, but I decided to maintain the purity of my original vision. So, I spent the next 15 minutes...

In the southern USA, creamy shrimp and grits is a delicious classic and one that I adore! I also love dry champagne (sparkling wine if produced in the USA)--I haven't cooked with it before, but I've used wine plenty of times. I have had some delectable dishes that were seasoned with saffron...

A simple, beginner friendly, delicious side. The Saffron and the roasted sesame oil elevate it to a bit more of a special mash. If you are sensitive to/dislike garlic, you can omit it and still get a lovely mash. Ingredients: 1 whole garlic (10 cloves) Half a Hokkaido squash ( you can bake the...

The original recipe comes from this site (Roasted Saffron Cauliflower with Date Dressing) but I changed things slightly, such as soaking the date in hot water, straining them, then adding them and water to the dressing. It made no sense to me. Also the excess liquid from the saffron water went...

Saffron is a rare and expensive spice but a tiny bit of it can transform a dish. There are about 600 saffron threads in a gram. The yellow colored rice you might get in a Latino restaurant gets its color and flavor from Saffron. Here we have used the spice in a sauce to accompany hard boiled...

A tangle of sticky sweet onion, tangy charred tomato and earthy chickpeas on a bed of fragrant saffron couscous. Its a simple recipe which happens to be vegan. Only five basic ingredients needed (plus optional harissa and/or yoghurt to serve). The only tricky part is getting the main...

Let's see if I can write an acceptable recipe from my memory. My version of this Spanish dish comes from my Cuban mother who made it often. I've made it a few hundred times myself. Sofrito is the Spanish version of mirepoix. It is the Latin trinity. In Latin America it is onion, green bell...

I came across the recipe on The Guardian food website without saffron. Looking at the recipe whilst it was cooking, I felt the dish would benefit from the warming colour and fragrance of saffron and added it. I was correct. Don't be tempted not to make the hot vinaigrette dressing. It adds a...

Traditionally, Khoresh Karafs is made using chicken, so I switched out the chicken for tofu. I'd frozen and defrosted the tofu previously (it really helps tofu absorb flavour), then drained and dried the tofu in advance. I'd recommend that you do the same, especially if you're unconvinced about...

I had some Celery in the crisper drawer, calling to be used. I'm not the biggest fan of cooked Celery, but if it's in something, like this riff on medtran49 recipe, I'm good. And I'm always looking for ways to bulk up the veg-component, the more the merrier! I would also like to add that there...
