Instructions

  1. Cooking rice is one of those things. Some can just do it, others never learn. This recipe is simple and sure to succeed. With saffron, this rice also fits into every Italian meal (but it is not a risotto!)
  2. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
  3. Heat the oil or butter on the stove and sweat the rice in it until it is translucent. Add the saffron and a little salt, stir well.
  4. Pour 400 ml of water on top and bring to the boil.
  5. Cover and cook in the oven for 30 minutes.
  6. Can also be prepared without saffron, with onions (which can also be made translucent), bay leaves or cloves or with other spices and / or herbs.
  7. Also works in small quantities: 40g uncooked rice and 100ml water per serving.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
