This soft & fluffy turmeric rice is so easy to make yet loaded with heavenly aromas in every bite. Fragranced with garlic, butter, and onion, this one-pot middle eastern rice comes together in less than 20 minutes on the stovetop.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1/2 medium onion (finely diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 cups (370g) basmati rice (or your choice of long-grain rice, rinsed and drained)
  • 3 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
  • parsley (for garnish, optional)
  • marinated chicken kebabs (or any grilled veggies, seafood, or meat to serve)

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Add turmeric powder and stir to combine. Mix in the rice until the grains are evenly coated and lightly toasted.

  2. 2

    Add stock, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside for about 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork. Enjoy!
