A luxurious, slow-simmered rice pudding, coloured and perfumed by Nitra's top-grade saffron and finished with pistachios.
طريقة التحضير
- 1
Bloom the saffron
Crush the saffron threads lightly and soak in the warm milk. Set aside — it will turn a deep amber colour.
- 2
Simmer the rice in milk
Add the rice to the milk in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to stop it catching on the base.
- 3
Cook slowly
Simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the rice is completely soft and the milk has reduced and thickened.
- 4
Sweeten and add saffron
Stir in the sugar and the saffron milk, and simmer a further 5 minutes until fragrant and well combined.

Finish and serve
Garnish generously with chopped pistachios and serve warm or chilled.
A pinch of Grade 1 saffron goes a long way — resist the urge to add more than a generous pinch, or the flavour turns medicinal rather than fragrant.
