This is my new favorite way to make rice. It's so easy and the saffron gives it such a beautiful color.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my saffron rice turned out mushy. Maybe I added too much water?

The saffron rice was a great side dish for our lamb chops. The saffron gave it a really nice flavor.

This saffron rice was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
