Are you sick of serving plain old rice as a side dish with your dinner? Try spicing it up a bit with easy to make, tasty yellow rice. Sweat shallots and garlic in butter until they are translucent and then add the uncooked rice. This will give the rice a slight toasted flavor. Add turmeric and chicken stock to the pot and allow the rice to cook until the liquid has been absorbed. Yellow rice has a beautiful appearance and a great taste that pairs well with Spanish or Indian dishes. In this video, Chef Fernando provides an online cooking lesson for making flavorful yellow rice to use as a side or in other dishes. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
