I made Shell's Easy Saffron Rice. When I took the first few bites, I thought something was missing - I'm not sure what - but as I ate more, I really liked it. It's very different and very good.

Changes:
I used 1 Tablespoon of canola oil instead of the butter the recipe specified or the Pam Shell used. Next time I'll use either olive oil and Shell's butter-flavored Pam. The recipe would be even better with a little flavor from fat.

I used chicken broth and plain old Uncle Ben's rice. Oh, you GOTTA try it with basmati rice!!


BTW, I did get up the ambition to make my aunt's saffron rice recipe. Hers called for whole cloves which I was sure I had, but once I started the recipe I found out I didn't. I substituted ground cloves and went way overboard - the recipe just tasted like cloves. oh, no.... I'll try it again later and if it's any good, I'll post it. ok..
