vegetarian rice

Before I get to the recipe I’d like to mention that in the Southern Caribbean what we ‘call’ Saffron (or sorfran) is really turmeric and NOT Saffron. Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the “saffron crocus”. As we continue with the 5 days of Christmas recipes, chef Marc is joining us to share his take on this tasty vegan Sorfran rice (Turmeric Rice Pilaf) A lovely one-pot dish which is packed with layers of flavor, is gluten free and something you’ll be proud to have on your holiday dinner table.
