Preparation of Persian Rice
Cook the Rice
Rinse basmati rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a large pot, bring water to boil, add salt. Stir in rice and cook covered on low heat for about 18-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
Flavor with Saffron
Dissolve saffron in 2 tablespoons of hot water, then pour over the cooked rice. Fluff with a fork and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
Finish with Butter
Stir in butter until melted and mixed well.
