YELLOW RICE



Yellow Rice image

Yellow rice is a beloved dish among many cultural traditions. A staple side in Latin American kitchens, arroz amarillo appears in various iterations across the region. The appeal of yellow rice extends to Central and South Asia, and South Africa, and its brilliant hue achieved with saffron, turmeric or achiote. This version uses widely available and economical ground turmeric, and is a canvas upon which you can incorporate other ingredients and spices. Consider adding a bell pepper to the onion and garlic, or stir in a cup of frozen peas at the very end. The amount of cooking liquid you use depends on the type and quality of your rice, and be mindful to cut down on salt if you use a salted broth. Typically served as a side dish, the dish can also be served on its own.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups white basmati rice (or jasmine rice)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 cups water, chicken broth or vegetable broth for basmati rice (or 2 2/3 cups, if using jasmine rice)
Handful of cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then set aside to drain.
  • In a medium saucepan or pot, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Take care not to burn the garlic by reducing the heat slightly if necessary.

Turn off the heat and allow the rice to continue steaming, covered, for another 10 minutes.
  • Gently fluff with a fork or a slotted spatula, taking care not to break too many grains. Garnish with the cilantro, if using, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the rice will taste. Look for fragrant, long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook evenly.
  • Use the right amount of water: The general rule is to use 1 cup of water for every 1 cup of rice. However, you may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice you are using and the desired consistency.
  • Cook the rice over medium heat: This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Do not stir the rice while it is cooking: Stirring the rice can break the grains and make the rice mushy.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: This allows the rice to absorb all of the cooking liquid and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Yellow savoury rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add flavor and color to your meals. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this easy and flavorful recipe at home. Enjoy!
