This Recipe is Amazing 🫣
Ingredients:
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish 🌿
1 cup long-grain white rice 🍚
2 cups chicken broth (or veggie broth if you’re keeping it veggie) 🥣
1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
1 small onion, chopped 🧅
2 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
1 teaspoon ground turmeric 🌟
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 🌿
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Optional: A pinch of saffron (for that extra fancy vibe) 💛
1/4 cup peas (frozen works) 🟢
Let’s Cook This:
- Get your pan ready: Heat up a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Pour in that olive oil and toss in the chopped onion. Cook until it’s soft and golden—about 3-4 minutes.
2. Garlic and Spices Time: Add the minced garlic to the pot and stir for about 30 seconds, just until it’s fragrant. Then sprinkle in the turmeric, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir it all up until the onions are coated and looking golden.
3.Rice Goes In: Pour in your rice and stir it around, so it gets all coated in that spice mix. Toast it for about 2 minutes—this helps give the rice a nutty flavor.
4.Broth & Saffron: Slowly pour in the chicken broth. If you’re using saffron, now’s the time to add it. Stir everything together, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes,
5. Peas Please: When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and stir in the peas. Cover the pot again and let the steam heat the peas for a couple of minutes.
6. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle some fresh cilantro or parsley on top for that fresh finish. And there you go—perfect, delicious Yellow Rice! 🌟
