TASTY BIRD
WITH CHICKEN OR GAME
Combine butter and Persian Trader saffron and rub generously over chicken or game to create a glowing golden glaze for your favourite roasts.
SHOW OFF
WITH FISH
Add strands or ground Persian Trader saffron in to your batter mix for fish and chips with a difference!
Or try adding to oil or butter when pan-frying, grilling or roasting fish - this will add an aromatic, colourful impact.
AMAZING AIOLI
Blend 3 egg yolks with 3-4 garlic cloves, add the juice of half a lemon and season with salt and pepper.
Crush 1/2 tspn of Persian Trader saffron and add 20ml of hot water, add this slowly to your blender. Finally gently add 150ml of high quality olive oil in a steady stream until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Great as a seafood dip!
A TOUCH OF DECADENCE
CHAMPAGNE & SAFFRON
Crush a few thread of Persian Trader saffron into a champagne flute and top with champagne (Louis Roedere Cristal recommended). Toast to the art of flirtation. Drink and repeat!
DISTINCTIVE DISH
PASTA or PAELLA
Dissolve a teaspoon of ground Persian Trader saffron and stir into hot water to make any rice dish sing. This adds depth of colour and flavour to pasta or your paella dishes.
THE ULTIMATE…
RISOTTO MILANESE

WONDER WORKER
