How to prepare and use Saffron
Step 1: Extract pigments
To get the best out of your saffron, it is recommended to steep or bloom the saffron in a little bit of water, stock, or milk before adding it to the dish. This helps to extract its pigments.
Step 2: Incorporate into the dish
Add the bloomed saffron to your dish, for example when cooking rice, and mix well to distribute the color and aroma throughout the dish.
