Pour a glass of water over the saffron. I used about 10 sticks.
Rinse the rice.
Add both types of oil to the pan. Crush a clove of garlic with the wide side of a knife, cut it into 2 parts and throw it into the oil. Put the thyme. Fry for a few minutes over medium heat. Then discard the garlic and set aside the thyme.
Put the rice in a frying pan with oil, pour water with saffron (I filter, add half of the threads). Add another glass of water and salt. Return the thyme.
When the water boils, turn down the heat and cook under the lid until the rice is ready (about 7-9 minutes).
I add quite a bit of saffron, but you can increase the amount to taste.
