SAFFRON ALMOND RICE
I simply love the flavors of North Africa and I think that you'll enjoy this as much as I do. I like to make this with pistachios in place of the almonds sometimes.

SAFFRON QUINOA WITH DRIED CHERRIES AND ALMONDS
Saffron rice is an indispensable accompaniment in Persian cuisine, and it tastes just as good made with fluffy quinoa. Crushing and steeping the saffron in hot water brings out its full flavor and color. If you have coconut oil on hand, the naturally sweet flavor pairs nicely with the cherries and almonds.

CLASSIC SAFFRON RICE
This is easy, simple and wonderful. The original recipe which was printed in the Spring 2005 Penzeys catalog, calls for long-grain rice; however, I liked it much better with basmati. Also, the original recipe called for minced onion but I found it worked very well with dried onion. I indicated that the butter is optional, because I did not add it.
