Sargol Saffron
« on: May 26, 2024, 09:54:36 AM »
Our neighbors just returned from Turkey and brought me back a significant amount of Sargol Saffron. I am now looking for various ways on how to use it and recipes to use it in.  Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

About the only thing I have ever used it is is rice or a Saffron risotto, so I am no help!  Maybe Chicken Tagine?

Building off what Bently said, a couple of days ago I watched a Lidia Bastianich cooking show where she made a seafood and leek risotto that used saffron. She mentioned that saffron goes real well with seafood. She soaked some saffron in water, and then used the saffron and water as part of the liquid for the risotto. I have never used it personally, but thought I would share.

I believe it is used in paella as well.

Israeli couscous, pasta, risotto, tahdig, quinoa or sauces.  Mix with something mild so that it doesn’t compete with the saffron.

Years ago I made a Sweedish Saffron Bread. As I recall the saffron was used more for the color rather than taste.

I use saffron in paella.
Is there a difference between Sargol and "regular" saffron?

I am clearly no expert in saffron however I have been told that are differences. I was told that this was the gold level of saffron.  The differences can also be noted in the price per gram

I was just watching an episode of "Ciao House" and they were making a cioppino using saffron.
