Root Source Challenge #35: Saffron

Once worth its weight in gold, saffron is a spice of mythic measure. Made from the dried stigma of crocuses, tiny saffron strands infuse a dish with a distinctive, earthy flavor and a lovely rustic color.

Tell us your favorite way to use saffron. Our favorite will be featured in the Root Source and published on Cookthink.com. The author will receive a copy of The Old Farmer’s Almanac Everyday Cookbook.

Submissions are due by 12pm EST, Tuesday, October 14, 2008.

Send us an email to rootsourcechallenge [AT] cookthink [DOT] com with your name, email address, blog URL and a permalink to the recipe. Please put “Root Source Challenge #35: Saffron” in the subject line of your email. Good luck!
