15 minRequired Tools:🍳Bowl - 3
Boil 3 cups of water in a pot, then add the rice and one tablespoon of olive oil. Let it boil for a quarter of an hour or until it is half cooked, then drain the rice and set it aside.
15 minRequired Tools:
Pot - 4
Put two tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick pot and add the drained rice and the remaining oil. Cover the pot with a cloth and then cover it tightly with its lid and leave it on high heat for two or three minutes just to heat the pot sufficiently. Then reduce the heat and let the pot simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the rice is steamed and forms a golden layer at the bottom.
30 minRequired Tools:Pot - 5
To serve the rice: Flip the pot onto a serving plate, so that we get the rice mold with the golden layer on top if possible. If that is not possible, serve the rice in a serving bowl and place the golden layer in another bowl to serve separately. This layer is considered special and is served first to guests.
5 min - 6
Sprinkle the saffron with its water over the rice horizontally to create wide yellow threads on the white rice.
