Yellow Rice

By Belinda

Mexican Side Dish

Ingredients

• 2 cups long-grain rice
• 4 cups water
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 tablespoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 bay leaf

Preparation

Step 1

Put all the ingredients into a heavy-bottomed pot, stir well, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat until the rice has absorbed the water, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Discard the garlic and bay leaf, fluff with a fork, and serve.
