Yellow Rice with Sausage and Tomato image

This dish uses saffron; but only a pinch or a few threads of what's been dubbed the world's most expensive spice. Use saffron sparingly as too much can give food a medicinal flavor. Whereas annatto seeds are sauteed in oil, saffron must be cooked in liquid like a broth. This variation was created by Pam Sorin.
