Judy's Saffron Rice

"My sister just loves this rice. The last time she bought saffron threads it came in such a big package that she gave me some along with this recipe. It makes a bright yellow mild side dish."

  1. Great rice! I used saffron salt since someone mentioned adding salt, but I didn't want to use too much and make it too salty, so my yellow saffron color is not as pronounced. Despite that, this was a delicious was to fix rice!

  2. I really enjoyed this flavorful rice. I also added some salt, but other than that made exactly as written. I served it with meatballs for a tasty meal. Thanks so much for sharing a recipe that I will enjoy again and again. Made for Went to Market Tag Game - 2017.
     
  3. Made this as written except for using just a pinch of saffron instead of 1 tablespoon. (The pinch was just right for DH and I). I needed to add some salt also but overall I definately will make this again. I served it with Halibut Onion Crunch#25897 and a green salad. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag game 2011.
     
  4. If the saffron is authentic, the two tablespoons are way too much. I used Iranian saffron and 1/4 teaspoon was enough for me.Browned the onion a bit too much and it showed in the taste, but I like fried onions. I needed a little more salt.
     
  5. I loved it! Saffron is a favorite spice for me. The aroma and the colour of it is so good! So, I followed the instructions but I also added salt. Thanks Karen67 for a tasty and colourful recipe!
