Turmeric Lemon Rice

Turmeric Lemon Rice Recipe- this easy side dish is healthy and easy to throw together. It’s surprisingly refreshing and the perfect pairing for any dinner! I have a minor obsession with basmati rice. I have a recipe on how I make basmati rice in the instant pot which is something that we do at least once each week in our house. For this turmeric rice recipe, we’re using that cooked basmati rice and simply adding a few things to it in order to really spice it up a bit.

Instructions

If you haven't already done so, cook your rice. I LOVE the ease of cooking basmati rice in my instant pot. That recipe is HERE.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add in the onion and saute for 5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. Add in the garlic and saute for an additional 3 minutes.
To the skillet add the cooked rice, lemon zest and juice, turmeric, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and continue to cook until everything is warmer through.
Serve and ENJOY!
