A Hint of Spice Yellow Rice

Yellow Rice is a slightly spicy rice that is a great side dish for an Indian recipe or you can add some tofu to make it a main dish!

 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked and cooled rice .... i like a combination white and brown
• Just enough oil to make sure nothing sticks to the pan
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 tsp curry
• 3/4 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 4 tbsp toasted nut of choice (seeds if you have a nut allergy)

Instructions:

• Toast the mustard seeds in the oil to bring out their flavor (about 2 minutes). When they start to "pop", add the  curry, turmeric, and crushed pepper to bring out their flavor (about 1 more minute).
• Add the nuts (or seeds) and combine.
• Turn off heat.
• Add lemon juice and rice and mix to combine.
