Directions:
- Thoroughly grind the saffron threads with the sugar.
- Add the hot water and allow the saffron to steep and become fragrant.
- Cook the rice in water, biryani paste and saffron.
- While the rice is cooking, clean, trim and cut vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- Brown the onion in a bit of olive oil and salt. Add turmeric, ground meat, if any, or quinoa and brown for another 10 minutes or so.
- Once the water has been absorbed (~10 mins), gently fold the vegetables (all but the peas) and meat/quinoa into the rice and cover the pot. Reduce the heat and allow the vegetables to cook (~20-30 mins).
- Turn off the heat and gently mix the frozen peas into the rice.
- Sprinkle few sprigs of fresh coriander (cilantro) and crunchy toasted cashews on top for a sexy finish.
