I always love to create dishes that pack a ton of flavor and are done in a jiffy, yet really bring excitement to the table. This Spanish Saffron Rice with Spicy Mushrooms & Onions is just that, loaded with flavor, easy to make and done in 30 minutes, the perfect side dish or main course for any busy weeknight or weekend. This tasty rice is perfect next to your favorite protein, yet it´s bold enough to enjoy as main course, perfect for vegetarians and vegans. You can use any type of rice that you love, but I do recommend that you use Spanish round rice, it absorbs all the flavors and has an incredible texture.

KIVA, a health superfood store recently sent me some Spanish Saffron and Spanish Smoked Paprika, so I decided to use their products on this recipe. They are based out of Hawaii, USA, but the products they sent me originated in Spain. Let me tell you, their Spanish Saffron and Spanish Smoked Paprika are absolutely amazing. You can tell KIVA really cares about the quality of the products they source. Here is a link to their website KIVA where you can get more information and order some of their amazing products.
