Saffron Rice

    This was delicious, a perfect compliment to my lamb meatballs. I forgot the peas, but will add next time. The spices were great. I did toast the cardamom pods and cloves just moment with the onion before adding the rice and water. I can't wait to eat my leftovers tomorrow. Will definitely make again.
