Spanish Saffron Rice

This Spanish Saffron Rice is classic Spanish. It’s so full of flavor it will quickly become your preferred rice in many dishes. I first saw this many years ago on a PBS station cooking with chef “Ef”.
If you can get it, use the Spanish Calasparra rice for the true flavor intended for this dish.

Make this rice with my Spanish Garlic Shrimp recipe as pictured

Ingredients;
3 TBLS olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, mashed
3 cups low sodium chicken broth or stock
1/2 TSP crumbled saffron threads, you can use Turmeric, but saffron gives the best flavor
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice, if you can use the Spanish rice I suggested above

Directions;
Heat the oil in a 4 QT sauce pot and add the garlic and onions. Saute for a few minutes and add the other ingredients. Bring to a boil. Stir and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. Stir again and cover. Cook on low for about 20 minutes, until the rice is just tender.
