A mild side dish that won't overpower the entree. Use the thread saffron, which gives a much better flavor.

This is wonderful! I've made this 4 times now, and always follow the recipe exactly (which isn't like me) and it comes out great each time. My husband, 4 1/2 yr old, and 2 year old can't get enough of it either. thank you for sharing this great recipe.

    This was excellent! I used two cups of chicken broth and added 1/2 package of frozen peas (I added the peas after I brought the rice to a boil, before I put the lid on to simmer for 15 minutes). Awesome

    Served this with sauted chicken breast, and salad. It is a very good rice recipe. I used butter instead of olive oil, I think that adds to the flavor. We will for sure have this again. Thanks
