Instructions
- Set a 4-quart saucepot over medium heat. Add the butter, onions, and garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes to soften. Then stir in the rice. Make sure the rice is well coated in butter.
- Add the chicken base, turmeric, adobo seasoning, and water. Stir well.
- Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat a little and stir. Then cover and cook for 15-18 minutes, until the rice looks fluffy and there are vent holes in the top of the rice.
- Remove from heat and toss the rice. Then cover and let the rice steam another 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and serve warm.

- This is an excellent recipe to make ahead. Store cooled leftovers in a sealed container and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop; you might want to add a splash of water if the rice seems a bit dry.
