Yellow Rice

This is a great side dish for any shawarma or souvlaki. 

Let's get started.

Yellow Rice
1 1/2 Cup Longs Grain Rice or Basmati Rice 
2-3 Cloves of Garlic Minced
2 Tsp. Turmeric 
2 Bay Leaves
1 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
1 Tbsp. Chicken Bouillon Powder 
3 Cups Water 

Rinse rice 2-3 times and drain thoroughly. 

In a medium pot, using medium high heat, add in the oil, and rice. Stir until the rice develops a slightly toasted color. Add in the minced garlic, and sauté for a minute.

Add in the water, turmeric, bay leaves, chicken bouillon powder, stir to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Allow to cook for 12-15 minutes. Then turn off heat and allow to steam for 10 minutes. 

Fluff up with a fork, serve, and enjoy.
