Add saffron packets and rice, sautéing for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.

Leave the mixture to cook on medium high until liquid evaporates.

Once liquid is absorbed, fluff the rice slightly, reduce heat to medium low, and cover.

Cook for about 20 minutes until rice is soft.

Optionally, sprinkle 1/4 cup of cherry wine on the rice and cover to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
