In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Stir in the uncooked rice and let it toast in the oil for about 2-3 minutes while stirring occasionally.

Dissolve the saffron in 1 cup of warm water and pour it into the pan, along with the remaining 3 cups of water and the salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the rice to simmer for approximately 20 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Once cooked, remove the pan from heat and let it sit covered for about 5 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
