Yay🥰thank you Stephane. I’m cooking a lot of rice to bulk out meals lately.
First fat tasty comment
Yum yum
I was just reading comments left for your previous video…there were so many requests "Please give us your saffron rice!" (nearly a riot for rice, haha 🤣) THANK YOU !
Eck Cottage Farm about to get a run on their saffron stock
Thank you very much for this beautiful recipe ! Your recipes always work out 🙏🌷
Exactly what I wanted to know from the last video, amazing as always Chef Stephane
less onion!
The Saffron rice looks great. I often substitute the water with low sodium chicken broth. My family loves this rice.
Thank you so much for your excellent cooking demonstration. Saffron rice is so savoury that no one can resist it 😋 ❤
I just made this last night. I wish I'd waited until today! I will try this next time.
That looks simple, but scrumptious. Thanks, Stefan!
Wow. Am an Asian man that eats rice every day. This recipe will be my next party rice ❤
Iranian rice dishes are worlwide the best !!!!!!!!
Persian saffron is key! Plate a bed of white rice then add a serving of saffron rice in the middle (will look like a sunnyside up cooked egg), serve with a grilled tomato and your favorite kabob and a piece of naan. A traditional Persian meal. 🤌
Sorriso but no. Rice are not a french thing
Muy buena receta 😋😃 chef, ésto funciona con arroz 🌾 redondo también?🤔💡
I'm 40 and have been eating rice all my life, i have tried commercial saffron rice before and found it nothing special.
Now i know why, looking forward to try this one.
I love rice pilaf!
Put the bay leaf in the hot water beforehand too. Awesome videos! I love the French way
£3 for 1g of saffron? Can’t do this…
The only issue with this is getting real saffron – just like olive oil, most of th "saffron" you get at the supermarket isn't really saffron, it's a scam.
