- 250G Shallot Onion - 250g
- 1 Kg Dried Apricots, 1Kg
- 10 Pack Purely Organic Free Range Mixed Weight Eggs 10 Per Pack
- 10G Belazu Category 1 Spanish Saffron
- - Ktc Vegetable Oil
- 1.3 Kg Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt, 1.3Kg
- 500 Ml Daylesford Organic Hot & Sour Vegetable Broth
- 50G Pepper Black Ground BWFO
- 1 Kg Laila Basmati Rice
Instructions
- 1. Warm 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl and add a pinch of saffron threads. Microwave for 30 seconds or heat gently in a small saucepan for 1 minute. Set aside.
- 2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped shallots, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped shallot, and 1/2 cup of chopped dried apricots. Cook, stirring often, until the shallots are softened, about 1 minute.
- 3. Add 1 1/2 cups of basmati rice and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the saucepan. Stir well and toast for 30 seconds. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of vegetable broth and the saffron-infused milk. Bring to a boil, stir, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the rice absorbs the liquid, about 10-12 minutes. Turn off the heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and cover again.
- 4. In a large wok or skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 2 beaten eggs and swirl to coat the bottom. Stir occasionally until small, firm lumps form, about 1-2 minutes. Add 4 chopped scallions and cook for another minute.
- 5. Combine the cooked rice mixture with the eggs and scallions in the wok. Stir frequently until everything is well mixed and heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Season with freshly ground black pepper and additional salt to taste.
- 6. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
