Ingredients
2 cups basmati rice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving
Directions
- Rinse the rice a few times until the water runs clean.
- Heat the olive oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent and a bit golden, about 5 minutes. Add the rice, turmeric, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Add the chicken broth and 2 cups water and turn the heat to medium high.
- Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes so it can finish steaming. Fluff with a fork before serving.
