Poshing up me dinner - any uses for Saffron?

Danili

Oh and I bought a fair amount of saffron whilst in Dubai on holiday.

Any ideas what to do with it?? Stupidly spent a small fortune on it and don't want it to go to waste..also does anyone else know how long it lasts? (I am storing it in a tupperware pot)

Many thanks

You could make paella

saffron is very sensitive to light
so store away from sunlight/direct light
i know you said its in tupperware
(my dresser has glass doors so i need to keep everything in dark glass)

saffrons flavour intensifys after a while in a dish, so if you are making something for tomorrow think of this
i love it in risotto!

How about Saffron cake go to greenchronicle.com and search for Cowyth wheg or saffron cake (sorry I can't post links yet.)
If you have the first Nigella book try her recipe for Blakean Fish Pie, she puts saffron in the white sauce and it's delicious.

Oddly enough there's no recent thread on saffron,but I've merged yours with an older one so you can see the previous suggestions

thanks
