Dive deeper into the world of saffron as we delve into various techniques for preparing this exquisite spice.
Begin by taking a portion of saffron threads and place them in a mortar. Using a pestle, gently crush the saffron to release its aromatic essence. This process enhances the flavors and colors of saffron.
Transfer the crushed saffron threads into a bowl and allow them to rest for a brief period. This resting process allows the saffron to release its full flavor profile, ensuring a more robust infusion into your culinary creations.
Choose your preferred method: either place ice cubes directly above the saffron in the bowl or pour hot water over the saffron. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes.
Your saffron is now infused and ready to impart its exquisite flavors. Use this aromatic creation to elevate various meals, and in the next section, we'll explore some delectable dishes crafted with saffron.
