Saffron<\/a> was used as an aromatic and seducing essence in ancient Egypt, according to the very first historical references available. It is obtained from the commonly called saffron flower \u201c rosa del azafr\u00e1n\u201d, a plant from the Iridaceae family, Cleopatra was a frequent consumer. Its properties were also well-known in Ancient Greece and in the Arab world. At present, there is no country in the world in which saffron is not used as a spice in at least one of their traditional recipes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Spain, for instance, popular dishes such as the Valencian paella<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0“paella valenciana” or the Galician pot \u201cpote gallego\u201d contain saffron. Besides, it is also an important ingredient in desserts, as for example chocolate mousse and saffron.<\/p>\n

To prepare this recipe, you only need the following ingredients: cream, egg, sugar and honey. First you have to prepare the saffron cream. For that, you put the cream in a pan with the spice previously roasted and grinded.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once the mixture starts boiling, you add the honey and you stir for a while. In the meantime you will have to beat the yokes and the sugar and then add the cream with the saffron little by little.<\/p>\n

The next step is to let it cook as you stir. When it is ready, put a little of the mix in cups and let it cool.
\nAt this point, it is time to make the chocolate mousse. Melt the chocolate and add the cream. Then beat the egg yolks and add the beaten egg yolks to the mixture. In another bowl, beat the egg whites and add the chocolate carefully. It is served in individual large glasses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All in all, besides the difficulties in saffron production- it needs extreme climate with high temperatures in summer and cold ones in winter- the recipes with saffron are pretty simple.<\/p>\n

This one in particular isn\u2019t only simple but it is also particularly tasty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
