Dishes with saffron - 38 cooking recipes

Saffron is very popular in the Middle East (this is not surprising, because not a single oriental dish is complete without spices and seasonings), as well as in Southern Europe. Saffron dishes have a beautiful color, so it is added to vegetarian, clear soups and rice dishes. And of course, if we prepare meat or fish dishes at home, then we cannot do without seasonings and spices, including saffron. Recipes with saffron exist in many cities and countries. For example, in the famous chowder a la Marseille (French cuisine), saffron is used to cook the fish. In Sweden, saffron is used for coloring in dough products. Asparagus and tomatoes go well with saffron. And in some countries it is added to tea and coffee. Thanks to the subtle aroma of saffron and its ability to color a dish in a golden color, we can also find it in confectionery products (cookies, Easter cakes, buns, muffins, Rum-baba, cream, ice cream , marmalade, cream), in the ear, in boiled and stuffed fish. Many manufacturers use it to color some types of cheeses, butter, and also add flavor to soft drinks and liqueurs. But you must remember that if you overdo it with saffron, you will ruin your dish, as it will be bitter. Saffron should be added to a hot dish just before the end of cooking, and added to the dough during kneading. Gourmets use saffron by frying its veins over low heat and in a dry frying pan. After the veins are ground into powder and dissolved in warm milk or water. Add just a small pinch of saffron to your dish, and it will sparkle with a golden color and will beckon with a unique smell.
