I used smoked tur…

In addition to serving in a big bowl like above you can also serve in parfait dishes which makes for great presentation!

This is a definite attention grabber great for entertaining as well. If you have to go shopping for Saffron I'm warning you now that it is pricey for a very small amount (it is the most expensive seasoning in the world ) Tha…
