I’ve never been a huge rice eater, but since giving this gluten free living a shot, I am incorporating it a little into my side dishes. I’ve had some saffron sitting around for a while so when I saw this recipe I immediately pinned it; I finally got the chance to make it when I made this Thai Bail Beef for the umpteenth time, and it was a great accompaniment. It’s easy to make and it’s a nice light flavor change to keep things interesting. So shake things up and enjoy!
