The creamy rice is flavored with fresh orange juice and zest. The smokey chipotle in adobo complements the orange. Saffron giving this a beautiful color. The cheese adds to the creaminess and saltiness so take care when seasoning.

    A very nice recipe. I liked it but it was a bit sweet for me. The sweet/hot is well balanced. I think a dose of pancetta would work here, too. No leftovers & i made a double batch. Made for the 5/08 Aussie Swap. Thanks, Rita!
