What a deliciously fragrant rice dish and so beautiful. Served this alongside some roast chicken and it was such a wonderful meal. I used golden raisins and I also used some fresh squeezed orange juice from oranges given to me by my neighbor. I will definitely make this delicious rice dish again. : ) Made for the Sweet December tag game.
