    Delicious, really easy and quick to make children and husband loved it. The garlic yogurt is easy to do and makes the dish that extra bit special.

    This looks great, can't wait to try it, but where did the saffron get into the stock?

    Very tasty and simple. Garlicky yogurt is great idea. We added saffron to the ready stock about 10 minutes before using it.

    Really quick and easy but with good results! I doubled the recipe, and ended up with enough to probably feed 6 people. We had it with griddled mackerel, which went quite well. I'm looking forward to eating the leftovers for my lunch today :-)

    We thought this was really yummy, and it will definitely become a frequent quick midweek meal for us. It seemed so simple yet had lots of flavour was and quite healty too. (I only used about half the butter though!) I didn't have any onions so used spring onions instead and it worked nicely, and the yogurt was a really nice touch.
