Ingredients

3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch cinnamon
3 cups water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups long grain or basmati rice
2 tablespoons sliced scallions

Directions

In a medium saucepan, heat the turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon over low heat until fragrant, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the water, salt, and butter and bring to a boil. Add the rice and stir well. Cover and reduce heat to a bare simmer. Cook, covered, without stirring until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, without stirring, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, add scallions, and serve.

Expected way More Flavor
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

From Emeril, I expected way more flavor. Add a bit of Goya's Sazon and this rice is perfect. Good base, though.

Great!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love the savory yet subtle sensation that happens in my mouth when I made the rice. The spices became very pungent when I... toasted them. Don't skip that step. Now I just need to find a good dish to go with this great sticky rice!Read more

Almost as good as Vigo
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe is great! However, I found an easier way to get the same home made tase of yellow rice. I used Vigo yellow rice... and it was absolutely delicious. It is so easy to make and takes hardley any time at all. The Vigo yellow rice is a quick and tasty dinner idea!Read more

Excellent with Kabobs!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Last night I made the Middle Eastern Beef Kabobs (recipe also on this site) and made this rice to go along with it. It was... perfect. I'm not sure what the reviewer who said it was tasteless was expecting, but while this rice is not a flavor 'powerhouse', it definitely does have flavor. I would suggest making sure you have a fresh batch of spices before making this and don't skip the step where you warm the spices before you add the liquid. I brings out the aroma and flavor of those spices. I will definitely make this rice again.Read more
