Instructions
- In a medium saucepan with a lid, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook until the onions begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Stir in the rice, garlic, turmeric, salt, thyme, and cumin. Stir and cook until the garlic and spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the broth. Stir to combine. Cover the pot, turn the heat to medium high and bring the rice to a boil (it can boil over quickly, so keep an eye on the pot and watch for excess steam or any jiggling sounds; uncover if this starts to happen).
- Once the rice is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer over medium. Let simmer gently (check on it every now and then to make sure you are maintaining that simmer), covered, for 35 minutes.
- Check for doneness. Most of the liquid should be absorbed and the grains should be al dente (almost tender). If they are still crunchy, cover and continue cooking for 5 to 10 additional minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Stir in the peas and parsley. Recover and let sit off the heat for 10 minutes. At this point, the rice will steam and become tender. Serve warm with a sprinkle of additional parsley.
Notes
- *You can also make this recipe with white rice; white rice cooks much more quickly, in around 15 to 20 minutes, so be sure to adjust as needed. Consult your rice package for more information.
