Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion into small pieces.
- In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion to the pot.
- Sauté the onion for 3-5 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the turmeric powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to the pot.
- Stir well to combine and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are well mixed and aromatic.
- Add the white rice to the pot.
- Stir thoroughly to coat the rice with the onion and spice mixture.
- Slowly add the 2 cups of water to the pot.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the water to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from the heat.
- Let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
- Serve the turmeric yellow rice hot as a flavorful side dish or a base for your favorite main courses.
Tips:
- Rinse the white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can sauté the onions in the olive oil for a few minutes until they become translucent before adding the rice and water.
- Consider using low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth instead of water for added depth of flavor.
- If available, using fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder can provide a more robust garlic flavor.
- Let the cooked rice sit covered for about 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld and the rice to become more tender.
- Feel free to garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a burst of freshness and color.
