Garlicky Yellow Rice
"This is a nice rice to make especially when you want a nice color contrast. With the turmeric, it colors the dish a dark yellow. From Quick and Easy Weeknights."

This was a great basic rice recipe! It came together quickly and easily and was super tasty! The turmeric, garlic and (spring) onions made for a lovely flavour combination.<br/>I used a mix of wild rice, rice, barley, oat kernels and buckwheat instead of just plain rice and that worked out really well. <br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, lazyme. Made and reviewed for WTTM December 2010. -
VERY good! I served this with Recipe#260950 I used chicken broth instead of water and sauteed the Turmeric along with the onions. I do that with curry powder, cumin and paprika as well. It makes a big difference.

Very good, a little too oily. -
For us the rice was bland besides tasting the onions and garlic. So next time I will use chicken stock instead. The color was great. Thanks Lazyme :) Made for PAC Fall 2012 -
This rice was garlicky indeed! It went well with our grilled chicken. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I enjoyed this recipe very much, I took the suggestion of one of the reviews to use chicken broth instead of water. I used garlic powder instead of garlic cloves because we were out of garlic but had all the other ingredients at hand. That worked ok, but I think it will be nicer next time I try it with fresh garlic. I served it with fish. Thanks for sharing this recipe! -
This was a great recipe. The directions were perfect and resulted in fluffy, tasty rice. I think next time I will replace half, if not all of the water with chicken broth to add another layer of flavour. -
Outstanding! I do not cook my rice on the stove but in a rice cooker in the microwave. My water and my rice amounts would be different.. but this is very good. I used cilantro instead of green onions since there was white onions in the mix already.
