If you are concerned about some of the bagged/boxed items that you eat, such as MSG/GMO or artificial ingredients found in your food this recipe is worth a try.
1/4 tsp saffron ground with mortar and pestle
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp saffron whole
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 ground yellow mustard
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 clove minced garlic
I usually use Thai jasmine rice due to it having a lower arsenic content. I have a rice cooker and use between 3-4 cups for this recipe.
Saute ground saffron in olive oil until aromatic. Add remaining ingredients then stir into cooked rice fluffing with a fork. Serve hot.
