Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic about 2 cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric for color
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, ground turmeric, and ground cumin. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the rice with the oil and spices.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Adjust seasoning based on your preference.
