Directions
Roz Bi Saffran, A Morrocan-inspired rice dish from the The Classic Mediterranean cookbook, with a few minor changes This would probably taste good, too with basmati substituted for the regular white rice Update: per the excellent suggestion of our dear Rita L, I subbed water for the broth in the original recipe Thanks, Reets! cg, Delicious used white Basmati rice and agree water is good in this one used sea salt to taste and omitted the hazelnuts as I didn’t have any on hand and was serving it with a dish that contained blanched toasted sliced almonds anyway Sadly I had to use the bright orange dried apricots but don’t recommend them (ie use unsulphured) used brown raisins but both kinds would work I would make this again and would like to try it with the hazelnuts and yellow raisins next time Made for NA*ME Tag!, I cut the recipe in 1/2 with the only change being used Macadamia nuts, I opted for water over broth because I wanted that saffron to come through which I was generous with Thank you for a great side that was like eating dessert! Thank You! Oh I just remembered I didn`t go through all the rinsing and drying I just started at step #2
