Whenever my family would go to a Lebanese or Mediterranean restaurant, our favorite part is always the yellow rice, and I knew I had to give it a try. This is a simply version without saffron, because I know that they usually saffron is used when they make this rice, but this is pretty close, and still has an awesome flavor similar to the restaurants. I will be adding a yellow rice using saffron soon, I just need to test it and make it just right. We can eat this rice just by itself, or with a meal, add some butter, or sour cream all work great and I think that basmati rice is the best for this dish.
Ingredients you will need…
- 3 1/2 cups basmati rice
- 4 1/4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1.) Place 3 1/2 cups rice into rice cooker, followed by 4 cups of water.
2.) Add the spices to the rice cooker and mix well with a whisk so there are no chunks of spices.
3.) Turn on the white rice option and let cook.
4.) Once it is done cooking, take a large spoon and mix the rice around, and fluff it. All that is left is to enjoy it as a side dish or by itself.
