- 250 grams Rice
- 1 pkg Saffron (ground)
- 3 Tbsps freshly grated pecorino romano
- 4 eggs

Preparation
1.
Thaw the peas. Peel the onion and dice. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion, ground beef and peas for 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and chili powder.
2.
Meanwhile, cook the rice in salted water according to package instructions. Mix the saffron with 2 tablespoons lukewarm water then mix into the rice with the cheese and 2 eggs.
