Turmeric Rice
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 medium onion finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp turmeric ground
- 2 cups basmati rice or your choice of long-grain rice rinsed and drained
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Rince the basmati rice in a colander prior to cook to remove the extra starch from the surface. This is inevitable to achieve the perfect soft and fluffy texture at the end. Repeat the process until the water is clear!
- Add the coconut oil to a pan and saute' the onion and garlic together with the turmeric powder and pepper. The fat and the pepper helps the turmeric be better absorbed by the body - an excellent tip for anti-inflammatory and healing properties. This also brings out the secret aromas and flavors which then is infused to the rise.
- Add the rice to the mixture and cover it with the stock. Stir to combine and then bring to a boil.
- After it starts boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and rest the rice for at least 5 minutes after cooling. Then fluff the rice with a fork. Enjoy!
