In reply to SM. Oh! I also put in two thai chilies and a parm rind while it was cooking down!

I just made this! I cooked it on my stove instead of baking it because I’m slightly terrified of my oven. Still turned out great 😀

This is a delicious recipe. I’ve now made it twice. I have a few recommended but minor tweaks. I substituted the water with vegetable stock. I also added grated pecorino romano cheese on top. I think this vastly improved the taste the second time around! Will make again!

Having a major health overhaul, tried this recipie and it was soooo tasty, plus it was simple and made the kitchen smell heavenly. Unfortunately I had run out of the main ingredience (saffron) so I substituted it for a little turmeric.
Will definately try out more recipies 🙂

In reply to Shannon.

I’m so glad you liked it! Hopefully your saffron will last awhile (mine does- just keep it in a cool, dark place). Thanks for the feedback about the instructions – I’ll make them a little more clear 🙂

I made this tonight. Saffron is soooooooo expensive ($20 at my grocery store) but after Googling I saw that there really is no substitute for it. And I really don’t know much about cooking & flavors to know if the recipe needs it. I will also say that not knowing that much about cooking I wasn’t sure about the heat level for the sauteing…I put it on Medium heat & lowered it slightly after I put the mushrooms in because they are so delicate. The greener part of the leaks never really get translucent either. All things you learn from doing :)!

All this being said…
THIS WAS DELICIOUS!
No leftovers though 🙁
I used everything exactly per the recipe.

When does the paprika get added? It’s on the ingredient list, but not in the instructions. I missed adding it until the end – which probably explains why my 4 year old loved it….

I love this! Especially that it’s already portioned for two. And that it’s using couscous — we’re on a couscous kick lately! Pinned 🙂
