1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup white rice
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon saffron
1 1/2 teaspoon parsley, chopped
directions
Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook until just soft. Toss in the rice and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the broth, saffron, and parsley. Cover and reduce the heat to low.
Cook for 15-18 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
Fluff with a fork before serving.
cook's notes
Try to avoid the powdered saffron. The "thread" type gives a truer flavor.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

My store never has saffron in stock it seems so I used a pinch of turmeric instead. Very pretty rice and good flavor. Used a good homemade chicken stock which had good rich flavor.

Made this today and while it goes together quickly and is very easy, I found it lacking in flavor. I love all the ingredients so I was surprised. If I make it again I will perhaps add more spices. Also I will add 2 cups of chicken broth as 1 1/2 left me with dry rather crisp rice. It is a good recipe to build on.

This was a great recipe! The chicken broth made it taste delicious. It didn't take quite as long to cook as stated. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Awesome rice recipe. The chicken broth makes it absolutely delicious! I only used a pinch of saffron threads (since it's so expensive) and only about 1 tbs of fresh parsley. And I didn't use any food coloring because I didn't care if it was yellow or not. It didn't take as long to cook as stated in the recipe. It's so simple to make and so good. This will be a staple food for us. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This rice was really good! The only change we would make is add a pinch of salt, which just made it that much better :-)
