Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 tsp ground saffron Zaffrus brand
  • 2 cubes ice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 large onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp saffron vinegar Zaffrus brand
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup PLAIN yogurt

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle ground saffron over the ice cubes in a small bowl and let it melt. This will be your bloomed saffron.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour on the olive oil and add the butter to melt.
  3. Sauté the onion over medium heat and stir occasionally. You want the onion to become golden and soft. This would take about 30 minutes. Add in the saffron vinegar and deglaze until almost evaporated. Add the salt and let it cool for a few minutes.
  4. In a large bowl mix yogurt, sour cream and mayonnaise. Add in the bloomed saffron and caramelized onion. Mix well to combine.
  5. Serve cold with barbari and crackers.
