Hi,

Saffron is one of those ingredients that is rare and expensive enough that not everyone has tasted it. The two dishes that come to mind are yellow rice and paella. Saffron adds a very nice perfumed note to food and a certain richness. The taste would compare to the richness you taste in cream or slow cooked beef. A bit of perfume, but rich rather than sharp. When simmered in cooking liquid, it becomes a beautiful pale yellow colour.

Yellow rice. Also,I used to work as a cook for an Iranian woman. One of the most requested dishes on her menu was "Chicken Cabobs".We would marinate quartered chicken breast in a solution of saffron and water before grilling it with vegetables.She'd always measure out the saffron herself because she said it was terribly expensive.

Saffron is an herb obtained from the fall crocus blossom (Crocus sativus.) It consists of tiny orange threads that are actually the flower' s stigmas.
