Ingredients:
  • 750ml (3 cups) hot water
  • 1/2 tsp saffron threads
  • 400g (2 cups) Basmati rice
  • 1 orange
  • 75g (3/4 cup) flaked almonds
  • 160g (3/4 cup) dried Turkish apricots, thinly sliced lengthways
  • 115g (3/4 cup) dried cranberries
  • 115g (3/4 cup) unsalted pistachio kernels, coarsely chopped
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over high heat, infuse saffron in water and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice, cover, and simmer on low for 10 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Let it stand covered for another 10 minutes, then fluff the grains with a fork. Allow it to cool for 30 minutes before serving.
  • While the almonds toast in a medium frying pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, zest the orange with a zester or use a vegetable peeler and a small sharp knife to cut the rind into thin strips.
  • Mix in the fragrant orange rind, crunchy almonds, sweet apricot, tart cranberries, and vibrant pistachios into the rice until thoroughly incorporated. Then, season with a touch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
