Golden Herb & Turmeric Rice

Ingredients

• 2 cups basmati or jasmine rice, rinsed until the water runs clear
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 1½ tbsp Zita Spice for Rice
• 1 tsp Zita Chicken Stock dissolved in 3½ cups warm water
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• Fresh coriander and toasted almonds to finish

Method

1. 1

   Soften the onion in olive oil over medium heat, about 3–4 minutes.

2. 2

   Stir in the Spice for Rice and let it bloom in the warm oil for 45 seconds — your kitchen will tell you when.

3. 3

   Add the rinsed rice and stir until every grain is coated and glossy.

4. 4

   Pour in the stock, bring to a gentle boil, then cover and turn the heat to its lowest setting for 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Rest with the lid on for 5 minutes, fluff with a fork and finish with coriander and almonds.
