Saffron Rice With Peas And Garbanzo Beans Recipes

EASY SAFFRON RICE WITH PEAS (IF YOU PLEASE)

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, add chicken stock over high heat. Then add the salt, saffron, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, black pepper, red pepper flakes and lemon juice. Next, stir in the rice. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover tightly with a lid. Cook covered for approximately 15 minutes, or until nearly all of the liquid has been absorbed.
• Then, turn off the heat. If serving with peas, add the thawed peas and gently stir, just enough to incorporate the peas into the rice. Cover the saucepan with the lid.
• Regardless of whether you're adding peas or not, allow the rice to remain on the stovetop (heat off) covered for another 5-8 minutes. The residual heat will help to finish steaming the rice and will warm the peas, if you're using them.
• Before serving, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Add additional salt to taste, if needed. When fluffing the rice, you may notice a few spots of reddish-orange coloring throughout the rice, this is from the saffron, and adds to the beauty and flavor of the dish! Enjoy!
