Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 2 cups long grain rice (white basmati is my favorite)
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 1/2 cups broth or water
  • 1 cup frozen peas, defrosted

Instruction

  • Bring a medium size pot to medium high heat and add oil.  When hot, add onions and carrots and cook ~ 4-5 minutes at a lower heat or until veggies are soft and translucent.  Stir in ground turmeric to the mixture.
  • Add rice and stir to coat.  Add broth or water after the rice is coated with the oil/spice mixture.
  • Bring rice to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook covered ~ 20 minutes (or according to package instructions).  Don't stir rice during this process.  Just let it do it's thing undisturbed.
  • Remove rice from heat and add peas (after rice is cooked) and keep rice covered to steam them ~ 8 minutes (this keeps their vibrant color).  
  • Remove lid and fluff rice before serving.
  • Add salt to taste.  Happy Eating!  Beckie
