Yellow Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and prepare any optional vegetables you'd like to add.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir to coat the grains with oil. Sprinkle in the turmeric powder and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the turmeric.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Vegetables

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. If using, add the green peas and diced red bell pepper at this stage.

5. 5

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
