4 cups rice

2 teaspoon salt

8 cups chicken broth

16 saffron strands crushed with a mortar and pestle and dissolved in a small amount of hot water

6 tablespoons butter

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.
