Yellow Jasmine Rice

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• 2 cups uncooked long grain jasmine rice
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 bay leaf, optional

Directions

1. Combine the butter, garlic, turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon in a medium sauce pot. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring as needed, until the garlic begins to soften.
2. Pour the dry rice into the pot. Stir it through the spiced butter and continue cooking over medium heat for about 2 minutes, just enough to lightly toast the grains. A little crackle or pop from the rice is totally fine.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Cover the pot, turn the heat up to high, and bring everything to a vigorous boil. Once it is fully boiling, lower the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes with the lid still on.
4. When the 20 minutes are up, turn off the heat and leave the pot covered for another 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, then serve.
