Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup butter (can use less
1 small onion, chopped
1 tbsp minced fresh garlic (or to taste)
1/2 tsp turmeric (scant)
1 1/2 cups basmati rice (well rinsed , you can also use the same amount of jasmine rice in place or the basmati)
2 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups canned mushroom slices, drained (i just use 1 can for this )
salt
pepper (optional)

Directions:

Rinse the rice under cold water very well.
Place the rice in a large bowl covered with cold water and let it soak for 30 minutes (changing the water after 15 minutes) before proceeding with the recipe.
Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Add in onion, garlic and tumeric powder; saute until JUST beginning to brown (about 2 minutes).
Add in rice, broth, mushrooms, salt and pepper (if using); bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer until the rice is tender (about 18-20 minutes).
**NOTE** this rice can also be cooked, covered with a tight-fitting oven proof lid in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes, or until rice is desired tenderness.
