What goes well with saffron?
Saffron has an affinity for butter and cream, making luscious cream sauces and simple saffron-infused butter that works well for basting on grilled meats or drizzling on seafood. It tastes great with fish and shellfish, especially mussels, in rice dishes and with pasta. Famous saffron dishes include French Bouillabaisse, Risotto alla Milanese, Spanish Paella, Middle Eastern pilafs, and Indian biryani dishes. It’s also used in some sweet pastries and desserts, as in England’s saffron cakes.
