Mediterranean Yellow Rice

Fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with turmeric, cumin, paprika, garlic, and onion. This yellow rice is an easy side dish that pairs beautifully with chicken, seafood, or grilled meats.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil

• ½ onion, finely diced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp. turmeric

• ½ tsp. cumin

• ¼ tsp. paprika

• 1½ tsp. salt

• 2½ cups water

• 2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed

• 1 tsp. chicken bouillon

• 1 tsp. fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:

1. Add oil and onion to a medium-sized pot or caldero over medium heat. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.

2. Mix in the garlic, turmeric, cumin, paprika, and salt. Stir and cook until fragrant.

3. Pour in water, cover, and increase the heat to high.

4. Once boiling, add the rice, chicken bouillon, and parsley. Stir well and bring it back to a boil.

5. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from burning at the bottom, until most of the water is absorbed. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20-30 minutes.

6. Remove the pot from the heat and fluff with a fork. Pair with gyros, tzatziki sauce, or your preferred Greek dish and enjoy!
