Recipe Summary Turmeric Rice With Peas And Carrots

A great supporting dish to chicken! I served the rice with chicken tikka, but it goes well with many chicken dishes, or whatever meat you find fit.

Ingredients | Jamaican Rice And Peas And Chicken

1 tablespoon butter

1 small onion, chopped

1 cup water

1 tablespoon ground turmeric

1 cube chicken bouillon

¾ cup frozen mixed peas and carrots

1 cup white rice, rinsed

Directions

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until golden, about 5 minutes. Add water, turmeric, and bouillon cube; stir well to combine. Add peas and carrots. Bring to a boil; stir in rice. Reduce heat and cook, covered, until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.

I'm not sure what type of rice I use, I think it's medium-grain. Whatever type of rice you use, cook it as you normally would.

If you don't use the chicken bouillon, use chicken broth instead. Don't forget to add salt.

For a lighter version: swap oil for butter, or use cooking spray, or leave it out completely. Vegetarians can substitute vegetable oil for the butter, and use vegetable bouillon instead of chicken.
