Low Cost, Low Calorie, Low Fat, Low Sugar, Low Cholesterol, Moderate Sodium, Whole Grain Rich

 

Yellow Rice

  • 1 cup converted or parboiled rice or plain long grain white rice (to use brown rice see note)

  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric or 1/2-teaspoon curry powder or a small pinch saffron (yeah right)
  • 2 dashes red pepper flakes or ground red pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry parsley (to make it pretty, optional)
  • 2 teaspoons chicken broth powder or 2 chicken bouillon cubes 
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoons tub margarine (65% vegetable oil, 80 calories per tablespoon)

Combine all of the ingredients in a 2-quart sized saucepan. Set the temperature gauge to High. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to Low. The mixture should barely simmer. Place the lid on the pot and allow the mixture to simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. The rice will absorb the water and be tender. The rice will smell out of this world and taste better than you ever imagined. Serve to fussy family members who always complain that you never make anything good and self-righteously witness their mouths shut.
