Greenfield´s – Saffron 0,6g
Premium quality saffron has a unique flavour described as floral, slightly sweet, and earthy. It is used as a seasoning and colouring agent in a wide range of dishes, including rice, desserts, soups, and beverages. It is particularly popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines.
Saffron is a highly prized spice known for its vibrant colour, distinct flavour, and aroma. Saffron is a great addition to your spice rack, use it for:
- Saffron Rice: Add saffron threads to boiling water or broth and let it infuse. Then, use the saffron-infused liquid to cook rice. The result is a beautiful golden-hued rice with a delicate saffron flavour.
- Paella: Saffron is an essential ingredient in traditional Spanish paella. Use it to flavour the rice and give it a rich, yellow colour. It pairs well with seafood, chicken, or vegetables.
- Saffron-infused Oil: Infuse olive oil with saffron to create a flavourful base for various dishes. Heat the oil gently with saffron threads until the oil takes on the vibrant colour and aroma. Use this oil to drizzle over salads, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
- Saffron-infused Milk: Add saffron threads to warm milk and let it steep for a while. This saffron-infused milk can be used to enhance the flavour and colour of desserts like rice pudding, custards, ice cream, or even milkshakes.
- Saffron-infused Syrup: Make a simple syrup by dissolving sugar in water, and then add saffron threads to the mixture. This syrup can be used to sweeten beverages like tea, lemonade, or cocktails. It can also be drizzled over desserts like cakes, pancakes, or fruit salads.
- Saffron-flavoured Sauces: Infuse saffron into cream or broth to create a rich and flavourful sauce. This works well in savoury dishes like pasta sauces, creamy seafood dishes, or chicken stews.
- Saffron-infused Tea: Steep a few saffron threads in hot water to create a fragrant and soothing saffron tea. You can enjoy it on its own or combine it with other herbs and spices like cinnamon or cardamom for added flavour.
- Saffron-flavoured Breads and Pastries: Add saffron to bread dough or pastry recipes for a unique twist. It can be used in bread rolls, buns, cakes, cookies, or even in Middle Eastern sweets like baklava.
- Saffron is a potent spice, so a little goes a long way.
