[Sca-cooks] Novice Saffron User

[Ana Valdés]

Paella is the most known use of saffron in food (yes, you kan use to dye 
clothes, as the Tibetans do in their clothing, but its a waste when you 
can eat it).
The Spanish city of Valencia has a special paella, called "fideoada", 
where you can substitute the traditional rice for noddles.
And they have a very tasty paella called "de mont e de mar", where they 
use rabbit, chicken and seafood, a mixture of "mont" (countryside) and 
"mar" (sea).
Crush the saffron when the paella is almost done and you will have a 
magnificent yellow orange colour in the dish.
