Saffron Skillet-Baked Rice

Preheat oven to 375 F.

In a skillet (10″) over low heat, add butter. When it melts add brown rice and stir on low heat, just to toast the rice for a minute or two. Add vegetable stock, saffron, black pepper and onion powder and stir to incorporate ingredients.

Cover skillet (you can use foil) and place in the oven for 25 – 30 minutes. You will smell the fragrance as the rice bakes. Remove from oven and add chopped fresh parsley as your garnish.

I like to serve this with a fish or chicken main course. Lovely and light side dish, hope you will enjoy!

Note: Use saffron sparingly.
