Step 2

Prepare hot vegetable or chicken broth then add a pinch of saffron to it and cayenne and black pepper . Pour all over the rice then cover the rice and bake in the oven for 35 minutes at 180c . After it’s cooked remove from the oven and let it sit 20 minutes . After that fluff the rice with a fork and I like to put it in a small buttered bowl or ramekin to make a nice shape for serving .
