Summer BBQ
Kebabs on the Grill
Have you ever been on a weekend drive and found some place that is really unique, fun; some place you want to share?
When it’s hot outside, we like to put our feet up and BBQ!
The vibrant colors of the peppers & onions and the mouthwatering smells made for a delicious dinner.
Don’t forget that we eat with our eyes. Adding a bright color or a textural contrast will make your dinner taste even better! Serving kababs over saffron rice is a treat.
An ancient flavor, saffron has been used for millennia for flavoring and color in foods. Adding a few strands of saffron to your cooking water for rice, risotto, paella, or bouillabaisse will give your dish a strong yellow-orange hue.
The flavor is very distinct and complex! Descriptions of “metallic honey” or “grassy honey” show the difficulty in describing it. It blends sweet & floral notes with savory & earthy. If you want to try some traditional Persian foods, saffron is a must have in your spice cupboard!
