If you're looking for a flavorful and colorful side dish, then this yellow rice with peas and carrots recipe is exactly what you need. This dish is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a family gathering, a dinner party or just a casual weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of long-grain white rice
- 4 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder
- 1 cup of frozen peas
- 1 cup of diced carrots
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
To start, rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This will remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from sticking together.
Next, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the rice, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until the rice is coated in the spices.
Now add the water, peas, and carrots to the pot. Give everything a good stir, then cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring it to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
Fluff the rice with a fork, then garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Your yellow rice with peas and carrots is now ready to serve!
