Felicianas Notes:| Original recipe called for 1/4 cup butter;
| The turmeric is my own addition - I like the color; so is the garlic whats the point of cooking anything if you dont use garlic?!
| I simply use 1 teaspoon chicken broth powder diluted in 1 cup boiling water;
| I do not use the bay leaf.
| I have always used freshly pressed orange juice; I dont think this dish would work with concentrated or frozen.

Heres what I made yesterday for dinner. Feliciana posted the rice to TNT. It was very good. I used a little saffron instead of the turmeric. I used fresh squeezed o.j., but I think you probably could use out of the carton (probably because the oranges I used werent very flavorful). I think the addition of some cinnamon and some golden raisins would really make this dish.
