Arroz Amarillo Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add Spices

   Stir in the turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 1 minute to toast the spices.

4. 4

   Cook Rice

   Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir to coat the grains with the spice mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

5. 5

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

6. 6

   Add Peas

   Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Replace the lid and allow them to heat through.

7. 7

   Fluff and Serve

   Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
