Heat olive oil in a large saucepan and
saute onions and peppers until
translucent. Stir in rice and salt and saute
briefly, until the rice begins to brown
slightly.
Add chicken -broth and saffron water, and
bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook,
covered, for about 20 to 30 minutes.
(Perfectly cooked rice will be tender and
fluffy.) Just before serving, stir in 3
tablespoons butter.
You can press the rice into a salad mold or
use an ice cream scoop to create a nice
presentation. |
