Saffron is the dried stamens of the crocus flower and is painstakingly hand-picked. You only need a pinch to add flavour and colour to a meal.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tbs

Brown onion

1 medium, thinly sliced

Garlic

3 clove(s), crushed

Ground paprika

1 tsp, smoked

1½ cup(s), medium grain, (300g)

Frozen green peas

1 cup(s), (120g)

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

¼ cup(s), chopped

Lemon(s)

1 medium, wedges, to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add paprika and rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until rice is coated.
