Years ago I was at a pot luck dinner and one of the dishes I particularly enjoyed was saffron rice. The lady that brought that dish wasn’t into sharing recipes, so I forgot all about it…until recently that is. I was thumbing through a magazine and saffron rice was mentioned. I starting trying different recipes, but none tickled my fancy. So, I decided to try to create my own dish. My husband really enjoyed this dish, so I decided to share it with you.
