Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Remember when you are melting the butter, and blooming the spices, keep the temp to medium low. We do wish to burn them, or it will impart a bitter taste to the rice. And, the same is true when you are cooking the rice in the butter... keep it low.
- 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 4. Add the butter to a saucepan over medium-low heat, and after it melts, add the turmeric and cumin.
- 5. Stir together until combined and keep stirring for another 60 seconds.
- 6. Add the rice and stir with the other ingredients until the rice begins to slightly brown, about 3 - 4 minutes. While stirring, toss in a bit of salt and pepper.
- 7. Remember, no burning; just an ever-so-slight browning.
- 8. Add the hot stock, raise the heat to get to a simmer. Then cover and simmer undisturbed for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from the heat, keep covered, and let it sit for an additional 10 - 12 minutes. That will give the rice a chance to absorb any remaining chicken stock.
- 9. Uncover, fluff with a fork, and do a final tasting for proper seasoning (I like to add a bit more salt and pepper).
- 10. PLATE/PRESENT
- 11. Serve as a side dish or eat a steaming bowl, all by itself. Enjoy.
