  1. This was very good. I didn't add the salt. Went really well with grilled chicken. Nice simple lunch that was enjoyed by all. Next time, I might kick it up a notch and add garlic. Thanks. :)
     
  2. An easy side that complimented the lentils I served it with very well. Since the chicken broth provided enough sodium, I opted to leave off the salt.
     
  3. Fantastic! I love the smell saffron imparts-it fills the whole house up! Omitted the hot pepper sauce because I served this with #183742. Great yet simple recipe for a last minute meal! Thanks for sharing it! cg
