Rice is one of our favorite side dishes. There are so many things that you can do to it! We have been trying different flavored rice at our house. Yellow rice is a great side dish to have on hand. You can freeze it fully cooked or as a “mix” to be prepared on serving day.

Assembly Directions:
Add green pepper, onion, turmeric, cumin, salt, and rice to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Each recipe makes approximately 1-1/2 C.
Freezing Directions:
Divide rice mixture evenly among quart freezer bags. Seal, label and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Thaw in refrigerator. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until hot. Add rice mixture and stir to distribute the seasonings. Cook the rice for one or two minutes or until the seasonings become fragrant. Add water to pan and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer covered, without stirring, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender or about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.
Comments:
You can also fully cook the rice on cooking day. Follow the serving directions. Allow the rice to cool and place in freezer containers. Seal, label and freeze. To serve, microwave on high for 6 minutes or until hot.
