Ingredients
Scale
1 cup basmati rice
2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, diced (about 2/3 cup)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 2/3 cups low sodium veggie stock
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, optional, for serving
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, diced, for serving
Instructions
- Begin by melting the butter in a Dutch oven or large pot. Once melted, add the diced onion and minced garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté over medium heat until tender and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add rinsed basmati rice, ground turmeric, ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt to the butter and sautéed garlic and onion. Stir well for about a minute, ensuring the rice is well coated in the spices and butter.
- Pour 1 2/3 cups of low sodium veggie stock to the rice. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cover, simmering until all the liquid has absorbed - about 12 minutes. Remove from heat but leave the pot of rice covered for another 10 minutes to finish steaming.
- Fluff the rice with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning. Move to a serving dish and top with fresh chopped parsley and toasted pine nuts.
