Yellow Rice (Begrafnisrys) image

"Begrafnisrys" actually means "Funeral Rice". In the old days people came from very far, with buggies and oxwagons and horses, to attend funerals. These people had to be fed, and enormous amounts of food were prepared. One of the regular dishes at funeral dinners was this yellow rice, which is now an old traditional dish and definitely not associated with funerals any more! It goes very well with corned meats or deep dish pies.

I love to experiment with different flavors, so I made a few changes to this recipe. I added some chopped cilantro and lime zest to the rice, and I also used a different type of sausage. The result was a unique and delicious dish that my family loved

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe and added extra vegetables instead. The rice turned out just as flavorful and delicious. I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone, regardless of their dietary preferences.
