simple but delicious essentials:

It is a sacred spice for me, as for all Iranians I suppose, so please do not waste it by pouring tons of water on it. First, grind saffron threads in a dry and clean grinder, pour two spoons of water on 1/2 tea spoon saffron powder. Let it soak and cook in hot water and on steam.

How to cook:

- Crush Saffron threads (Iranian of course!) with a pinch of sugar

- Cover the powder with hot water. WARNING! please do not drop tons of water in on saffron powder. the water should stay max. 1 cm above the powder

- Let it rest in hot water on top of boiling pot or inside cooking rice for 5-10 min

- It's ready to serve 

It is essential for each Iranian food. As my mom always does, you can fry a great amount and keep it for weeks in fridge. This way, you cry only once but not each time you cook.

Preparation:

- chopped onion

- vegetable oil

- salt and turmeric
