Brazilian yellow rice

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 0.5 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp. coriander
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Coarse salt
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 and 3/4 tbsp. chicken broth

Preparation:

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion, turmeric, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon salt and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and the spices are toasted, 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add the rice and stir until the grains are golden brown and the onion mixture infuses the flavor. Add the broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes; the rice should steam. Remove the lid. Let all the broth be absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
