Saffron

Often proclaimed as the world's most expensive spice - pricier than gold - saffron nevertheless represents terrific value for money because a little goes a very, very long way.

Warm-flavoured saffron is especially good with rice and is a prime flavouring of classic risotto alla Milanese, paella and Persian rice dishes.

It works very well with pears, cream, honey, chicken, white fish and shellfish.

Keep well-sealed and dry in a dark place such as a cupboard.

When stored properly, saffron strands will keep indefinitely, but ground saffron should be used within a year of purchase.
