The only thing I use it with is rice, I like a nice saffron rice when grilling up fresh salmon. I sauté a few cloves of crushed garlic in evoo, add the jasmine rice to toast for a few minutes, crush a pinch of saffron in a mortar and pestle add to the rice and then add water, bring to a boil, turn the burner to low, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes. Yes, saffron will turn rice a bright yellow.
Costco seems to offer it once a year and it is fairly reasonably priced.
