Rice on the Side

Contributed by: Melinda

Follow package cooking directions for proportions. Typically white basmati rice requires 1 1/2 cups liquid to 1 cup rice, while brown basmati requires 2 cups liquid to 1 cup rice.

White or Brown Basmati Rice
Chicken or Beef broth (chicken for chicken, fish or pork dishes; beef for beef, lamb or game dishes)
1 pinch Spanish Saffron
1 tsp Sweet Paprika
1/2 tsp each garlic and onion powder or granules
Salt & Fresh black pepper to taste

Combine broth, saffron, paprika, garlic and onion powder in a saucepan and bring to a boil over med-high heat.
Stir and add rice. Return to the boil, reduce heat to low and cover.
Cook according to package directions, turning off heat about 5-10 minutes before end of cooking period. Leave pan on burner and allow to 'rest' and continue to absorb the liquid slowly.
Serve as a side dish.

Serves 4-6. This is sooo much better than plain rice!
