This is our version of a classic Middle Eastern comfort food, as common as mac-n-cheese is here in America. The addition of turmeric to our rice to make it a beautiful yellow color and adds a bit of extra nutrition. This dish is flavorful and aromatic. The Cumin and garlic make the kitchen smell amazing while it's cooking. It tastes earthy and hearty, there's real comfort in this simple dish. Best of all, it's inexpensive, filling, and comes together easily in under 30 minutes... My favorite kind of dish!
