Make Your Meals More Interesting With Turmeric Rice

This yellow turmeric rice is common in both Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. it’s flavorful and versatile, with an appetizing yellow color. Cooked on the stovetop, the smell of turmeric and garlic fills the kitchen whenever I make it. This rice recipe is also easily made vegetarian if you replace chicken broth with vegetable broth,

I love white rice, but sometimes I like to switch things up. So, I make this yellow rice instead! Its bright flavors pairs well with many different things, especially with my shredded rotisserie chicken and a handful of greens, or a nice Air Fried Salmon. I share this chicken rice bowl in my realistic What I Eat In A Week as a quick dinner, and it was a hit with Dom!

Boosting Immune and Gut Health with Turmeric

Combined with garlic, this rice recipe is a yummy way of getting more antioxidants in your diet.
