Saffron Rice (Rice Cooker)

Prep Time10 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time30 mins

I love the taste of basmati rice, but sometimes I also like to bling it up and make it a bit more interesting. This rice has a pleasant yellow colour from the saffron, and a slight sharpness from the lemon, which brings it to the next level in terms of flavour.

1 ½ cups brown basmati rice

3 cups water

1 tsp vegetable stock powder

1 pinch saffron

¼ cup lemon juice

Add all the ingredients to the bowl of your rice cooker, and stir well to combine.

Start the rice cooker and let it cook until the rice cooker clicks off. Once the cooking in completed, stir the rice to make sure the saffron and flavourings are well combined. Serve immediately, or keep warm (usually for up to an hour) in the rice cooker.

Any unused rice can be stored in the fridge for up to two days, or frozen (for 3-6 months for maximum flavour retention).
