A really cool trick I learned from my Persian friends is, after you make the rice (without saffron) you take 1/4 of the rice and add saffron to it. Then you mix it in with the remainder of the plain rice. It makes the presentation beautiful. The plain rice is flecked with beautiful golden rice. It tastes, smells and looks delicious. Always cook up Saffron with water. Fats play against bringing out the richest colors.
