Yellow Rice

This vibrant yellow rice is a versatile high-protein side dish that brings both colour and fragrance to the dinner table. Gently sautéing shallots and garlic in the base creates a deep, savoury foundation, while the addition of turmeric provides its signature golden hue and subtle earthy notes. Whether you choose delicate basmati or floral jasmine rice, the result is a beautifully seasoned grain that complements a wide array of aromatic main courses.

Ideal for those seeking a nutritious and easy-to-prepare accompaniment, this dish fits perfectly into a balanced weekly meal plan. Using low-salt chicken stock ensures a rich flavour without overpowering saltiness, making it a healthy choice for the whole family. Serve it alongside grilled chicken, roasted vegetables or a hearty pulse-based curry for a complete and satisfying meal.
