Simmer the rice in milk
Add the rice to the milk in a heavy-bottomed pot and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 25–30 minutes until soft and the milk has thickened.
- 2
Sweeten
Stir in the sugar and continue simmering a few minutes.
- 3
Add saffron
Crumble in the saffron and simmer a further 3–4 minutes until the colour and aroma develop.

Garnish
Stir in most of the slivered almonds, saving a few for the top.
- 5
Serve
Garnish with the reserved almonds and serve warm or chilled.
Nitra tip
Toast the almond slivers briefly in a dry pan before garnishing — it brings out a noticeably richer, nuttier flavour.
