Description

Directions

• Pour the dry rice into a bowl and cover with cool water. Soak for 15 minutes, then drain.
• While rice is soaking, put on a kettle of water and bring to a full boil.
• Add the coconut oil, garlic, and ginger to a medium-sized pot and heat to medium. Sauté until very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Add the rice, turmeric and salt, and sauté an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add 2 cups of boiling water, reduce heat and simmer, covered until water is absorbed, about 30 to 35 minutes.
• A few minutes before rice is finished cooking, stir the fresh lemon juice and dried cranberries into the rice. Re-place the cover and continue to cook.
• Serve with fresh cilantro and pine nuts alongside your favorite main dish.
