Alternative Recipe Ideas

  • Two or three stems of saffron add a nice flavor addition to the rice.
  • In season add almost any fresh garden herb can be added for a little variation: thyme, basil, rosemary, etc.
  • For a strong citrus flavor add the juice of a lime or lemon to the orange juice. I have also used grapefruit.
