More Food Adventures: Saffron Mixed Rice

Shop at More Food Adventures

This packet of Saffron will expire soon. So we wont forget, we have decided to use this for some dish..

Checked the refrigerator for what ingredient to use, we found some Christmas ham left, so I thought of using them to make our rice exciting..

Of course we need other ingredients and found these in our pantry..

Ahhh.. and some dried Sweet Basil too..

Of course our steamed mixed rice. This is composed of Black Rice and White Rice, previously steamed to perfection.

So first Garlic and Onions were sauteed in Canola Oil. Sweet Basil was added, then Green Peas and Chick Peas added together.

Our diced Christmas Ham was added too.

Then the rice, Paprika and lastly, the Saffron. I decided to use up the entire packet for flavor..

Tadaah.. My Saffron Mixed Rice.. which everyone loved..

We ate this together with my sister's Lean Meat Sisig with Lechon Brain as binder, and my mom's Sauteed Bottle Gourd with Olives and Lechon strips.. Perfect.. gone in seconds, hahaha..
