Experience this precious spice with traditional recipes from Iran and France, as well as our Indian spin on a classic Italian dessert! All the recipes included in this collection are truly celebration recipes!
Tahchin Morgh or Persian Saffron Rice with Chicken
Tahchin is a traditional Persian–baked rice dish flavored with yogurt and saffron. The best part of tahchin is the tahdig – or the crunchy layer of rice which bakes at the bottom of the dish.
Tahchin Morgh has a golden brown color, wonderful aroma, and the most delicious subtle floral rice which beautifully complements the nutty savory chicken layer.
This recipe calls for an obscene amount of oil, mixing bowls, and quite a bit of time to make. And it is all worth it! This is the party dish to make when you want to impress.

Saffron Fennel Confit
This Saffron Fennel Confit recipe is a simple recipe that produces amazing flavors – one of our favorite types of recipes!
Fennel and saffron are a classic pairing in French, Spanish, and Italian dishes. That pairing makes perfect sense, as fennel also has sweet notes that become sweeter the more it is cooked. This sweetness works well with the floral notes of saffron.
To confit, simply, means to cook in fat at a low temperature for a long period of time. This French cooking technique is actually an easy way to create a dish that is tender and full of flavor.
In this recipe, the sweet notes of the fennel and saffron are balanced with the tanginess of yogurt and the sharpness of Harissa.
