EASY SPANISH YELLOW RICE

I'm a lazy cook so when I had a craving for my grandmother's yellow rice, I figured out a recipe that would taste the same and be simple. Amounts and ingredients can be changed according to your tastes and it keeps well too! This is a kind of spanish rice that my Domincan grandmother makes, using tumeric instead of saffron to give the rice its color, with peas, shallot/onion, and garlic.

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons shallots or 2 tablespoons yellow onions, chopped
2 teaspoons vegetable oil or 2 teaspoons butter
1 -3 garlic clove (depending on taste)
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice, rinsed
2 1/4 cups chicken broth or 2 1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
frozen peas (amount to taste)
cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.
  • Add the shallots and garlic and cook until they start to brown, around 2-3 minutes.
  • Add rice, broth, tumeric, and salt. Add frozen peas; I usually add enough to cover the surface of the broth (you can gauge this by adding them little by litte, they usually float to the top). Bring to a boil; this may take a few minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender and liquid is absorbed, this takes anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes depending on tastes and your stove!
  • Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a little extra flavor.

This is a quick way to jazz up yellow rice mix. I got this recipe from my mother-in-law, who is the master of quick but flavorful dishes. I use Vigo brand yellow rice,but others would work just as well. I make this as a side dish for mexican meals. It is colorful, easy, and super yummy!
