What is saffron?

Saffron is actually the red stigma of a crocus flower and is the most expensive of spices. Use just a pinch of saffron for unmistakable color, aroma, and flavor.

Instructions

Combine broth and saffron; let steep 5 minutes.

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium. Stir in rice and garlic; cook, until fragrant, 1 minute.

Stir in broth mixture and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook rice until tender and broth is absorbed, 15 minutes. Off heat, let rice stand 5 minutes, then stir in olives.
