Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup rice
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Brown rice: In a small saucepan, add 1 cup rice and 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, to lightly toast the rice and enhance its flavor.
- Boil: Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1 teaspoon turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the rice to simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Fluff and serve: Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Use long-grain white rice for best texture.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
- Adjust turmeric quantity according to color and taste preference.
- Make sure the lid is tight fitting to ensure proper steaming.
- Rice may stick if not watched carefully during toasting; stir to prevent burning.
