This was my first time making saffron rice pilaf and it turned out great! The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the saffron gave it a beautiful golden color. I added some extra vegetables to the recipe and it was a hit with my family.

The rice pilaf was good, but not great. I found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better if I had used a different type of rice, such as jasmine rice.

The saffron rice pilaf was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more liquid, such as broth or water.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The saffron gives the rice a lovely flavor and the pistachios and almonds add a nice crunch. I like to serve it with grilled chicken or fish.
