How to Make Saffron Almond Rice
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rinsed rice, water, saffron threads, toasted slivered almonds, chopped apricots, salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and finish cooking.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Enjoy!
