I said I would post a Saffron dish, most of the ones I have are full of other spices, so I chose this one to highlight the color and flavor of the spice.
Easy “ Saffron “ Chicken
6-8 chicken thighs
Salt and fresh ground pepper
½ tsp Saffron strands
1 tbsp boiling water
4 tbls of oil
2 finely chopped onions
2 cloves of chopped garlic
¼ teaspoon of ginger (ground)
2 chillies (seeded and chopped fine)
1- Season chicken (salt & pepper)
2- Soak saffron in the hot water.
3- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the chicken over medium heat, turn a few times until evenly brown.
4- Take out chicken , put to side.
5- Add remaining ingredients except saffron, saute until golden, toss in saffron and water, add chicken and coat mixture.
6- Cook over medium heat , stir often for 15 minutes until chicken is tender. You can always add a bit of water during cooking so that it does become too dry.
If you would like a creamy take on this dish , simply add a bit of cooking cream towards the end of cooking.
Merci
