  1. This rice is beautiful on the plate- but really lacks in flavor. At the least, add some salt, if I were to make again, I'd likely add garlic and onions as well.
     
  2. This was a very mildly flavored rice. I did sub 1t of tumeric for the saffron. The dish has a very pretty yellow color, but needs some tiny something to perk up the flavor a bit. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
