Rice dish infused with saffron (6)

I believe the answer is:

paella

(Other definitions for paella that I've seen before include "Spanish dish based on saffron rice" , "Saffron-flavoured rice dish" , "Make stew" , "Spanish dish of rice, meat and seafood" , "Dish made of rice, shellfish and chicken" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
