Yellow Savoury Rice

This is a savoury rice that works well with seafood curries or peri-peri anything.  The spice I use for flavour is very South African, so if you can’t get hold of it, I have put a note in at the bottom with *substitute ideas.

YELLOW SAVOURY RICE

2 cups rice, white or basmati

1 tsp salt

1 cup frozen mixed veges – corn/peas/carrot mix

1 tsp tumeric powder

1 large onion, cubed

1/2 each green pepper and red pepper, cubed

3 tsp Robertsons Spice for Rice

3 Tsbp ghee or butter

 

Add the rice, salt, mixed veges, tumeric powder to a litre of rapidly boiling water.  Cook till rice is done on a medium heat.  Drain.

In a seperate pan, fry the remaining ingredients, until onions are translucent.  Pour into the rice and stir it through.

Put the rice into an oven-proof pot or casserole, cover and allow to steam for about 30 minutes.

*You can use any spice of your choice for flavouring as an alternative. I like to use a mix of lemon pepper and garlic powder if I don’t have Robertsons Spice for Rice.
