Mad about Saffron!
Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on May 30, 2008 – 5:08 am -Coming from the dried stigmas of the saffron crocus, it takes 75,000 blossoms or 225,000 hand-picked stigmas to make a single pound which explains why it is the world’s most expensive spice! In Sydney, I used saffron liberally. I made a knockout Scallop dish, cooked lightly in a saffron & vanilla broth.
