This was amazing! So flavorful and quite easy. The saffron is far too expensive for me, I'm sorry to say, but other than omitting that perticular ingredient, I used all the ingredients listed. The only part that went wrong was that the rice didn't cook right. I kept testing it every few minutes, but it was way too underdone. I wound up cooking it 45-60 minutes. The vegetables were kind of mushy by then and it all was burnt on the bottom (it was my fault for not stirring constantly) and the rice was still crunchy. Though it's flavor was so lovely, I devoured it with its unpleasant texture and slightly burnt taste. My mother couldn't stay out of it! I love that it is vegan; this is my kind of meal and I truly loved it. Next time, I will surely cook the rice before adding it to the veggies! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe :)
