Ingredients

    2 teaspoons coconut oil
    1/2 cup finely diced onions
    1 cup short-grain brown rice
    1/4 cup golden raisins
    1 teaspoon grated fresh turmeric
    2 cloves garlic, grated
    1 cup Thai lite coconut milk
    1 1/2 cups Chicken Stock or water
    Salt and pepper


Tips

If you can't find fresh turmeric use dried, but cut the amount back to 1/4 teaspoon. The cooking time may take a little longer as I used the coconut milk which does not have enough liquid for the rice to absorbe.

Directions

Heat a medium saucepan to medium heat. Once heated, add the oil and allow to heat up. Once the oil is heated, add the onions and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the rice, raisins, turmeric and garlic. Toss to coat. Saute gently until you smell a nutty aroma, about 2 minutes, and then add the stock. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to steam for 5 minutes prior to removing the lid. Season with salt and pepper, and fluff with a fork before serving.
