Heat butter in small saucepan and add in dissolved saffron and a healthy pinch ofsalt. Start charcoal fire. When coals are proportionately burning with white ash around each coal and the grill is very warm, arrange brochettes on grill 3 inches away from the coals; 2 seconds later, turn brochettes gently to prevent meat from falling off.
