Saffron Broccoli And Potatoes

 

3/4 pound Yukon Gold or yellow potatoes

3/4 pound broccoli florets

1 1/2 tablespoons butter

1/8 teaspoon saffron threads

Wash potatoes; do not peel. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Place in steaming basket

with broccoli. Add 2 inches of water to the base of the steamer or saucepan; add

steaming basket. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Steam 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter. Add saffron and salt and pepper to taste. (This can be

done in a microwave for 30 seconds on high or in a saucepan over medium heat.)

When potatoes and broccoli are ready, pour butter mixture into a serving bowl;

add 1/4 cup water from the steamer. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Toss
