Instructions
- Clean and rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until it is well washed.
- Drain the water. Heat a pot over medium heat and then add the rice, the oil, the garlic, the saffron and the cayenne pepper.
- Stir and fry the rice until you smell the aroma of the saffron and pepper, about four minutes.
- Shake the pan lightly to level the rice, then add the chicken broth about 1 cm above the rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and leave the rice covered for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork so that the mixture "gains volume".
- Stir in the almonds and grated lemon zest, season with salt and pepper and serve.
