Ingredients
>
2 tbsp Iberia Olive Oil Blend
>
2 cloves minced garlic
>
1 tsp turmeric
>
1/4 tsp cumin
>
2 cups uncooked ABC Jasmine Rice
>
3 cups chicken broth
>
1 bay leaf, optional
>
1 cup La Fe Frozen Mixed Vegetables
Steps
1
Add Iberia olive oil blend, garlic, turmeric, and cumin to a medium sauce pot. Sauté over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or just until the garlic has softened.
2
Add the dry rice to the pot. Stir and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes to slightly toast the rice. You may hear a slight popping or crackling noise as the rice toasts.
3
Add the chicken broth and bay leaf to the pot. Place a lid on top, increase the heat to high, and bring the pot to a rolling boil. As soon as it reaches a full boil, add La Fe frozen mixed vegetables and reduce heat to low and let it simmer (with the lid in place).
4
After letting it simmer for 20 minutes, turn the heat off and let it rest (do not remove the lid) for an additional 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
