CUBAN-STYLE YELLOW RICE



Cuban-Style Yellow Rice image

Yellow rice is a staple in the Caribbean because of its beautiful color and flavor. Being Cuban, our household often served yellow rice. It's traditional to garnish yellow rice with pimentos, but I don't like them so I don't. Serve yellow rice with Cuban-style roast pork, or add cooked chicken pieces while cooking the rice to make Arroz con Pollo.

SOUTH AFRICAN YELLOW RICE

This is a traditional South African recipe, which comes from the great culinary tradition of the Cape Malays -- originally brought in as slaves in the 17th century. It's easy and plain, but great with meats like venison, corned beef tongue or any meat with gravy. Also usually served with Bobotie: There is a good recipe by Caryn on this site.

1 cup long grain white rice
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
3 tablespoons white sugar

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the final dish, so use the best quality rice, vegetables, and spices that you can find.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: This will help to remove any starch and impurities, resulting in fluffier rice.
  • Use the right amount of water: The amount of water you use will depend on the type of rice you are cooking. For long-grain rice, use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice. For medium-grain rice, use 1 3/4 cups of water for every cup of rice. For short-grain rice, use 2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice: Once the water has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for 15-20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.
