Instructions

  1. Heat medium saucepan over medium heat. Once warm add butter/oil, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Saute for 5-6 minutes or until onion is translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add turmeric and rice. Stir to coat rice in turmeric.
  3. Add broth. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes until rice has soaked up all the liquid.
  4. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered for about 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.

Notes

  • Storing: Let the rice cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
  • Reheating: Warm in the microwave with a splash of water or broth to help restore moisture. You can also reheat it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.
