From The Colonial Williamsburg Tavern Cookbook, c. 2001. I add a tablespoon or two of minced onion when I add the rice. Also, I use about half the salt listed in the ingredients.

Yield 1 pilaf, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup long-grain rice
2 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon powdered saffron

Steps:

  • In a colander under cold-running water, rinse the rice and transfer to a medium heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Pour in 2-1/2 cups cold water and bring to a boil over high heat.

This was my first time making saffron rice pilaf and it was a disaster. The rice was mushy and the flavors were all wrong.

I'm not a big fan of saffron, but this recipe was still very good. The rice was cooked perfectly and the spices were well-balanced.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I was so excited to try this recipe but it turned out a bit bland. I think I might have used too much water.
