Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice

  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder or dried minced onion

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt or to taste

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped

Directions

  • Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and gently stir until rice begins to lightly brown.
  • Add garlic, onion powder, and turmeric and stir until well mixed in.
  • Slowly stir in chicken broth and raise heat to medium-high. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mix to a boil then turn the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, add cilantro, and fluff with a fork. Serves 4.

Notes

  • While it is optional to brown the rice it is a step worth it for added nuttiness.
