Cooking with Greek Saffron

[d_kakavouli]

A friend brought me back some saffron from Greece!

For the life of me, I don't actually remember seeing any Greek recipes with saffron. I want to use it authentically if possible.

Are there any ways of using it that are authentically Greek?

I bumped into a recipe once for a Greek rice pilaf that had saffron, and also for a fish soup that had saffron, but I can't track it down. I would think you could simply just add it to your rice pilaf recipe (I find it tastes great in recipes that don't have tomato sauce) and also to fish soup (again, I don't like the way saffron tastes with tomato paste, sauce, etc)... I m curious if you try this and how it goes.
