Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons coconut oil
• 1/2 cup finely diced onions
• 1 cup short-grain brown rice
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh turmeric
• 2 cloves garlic, grated
• 2 1/2 cups vegetable stock or water
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Heat a medium saucepan to medium heat. Once heated, add the oil and allow to heat up. Once the oil is heated, add the onions and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the rice, raisins, turmeric and garlic. Toss to coat. Saute gently until you smell a nutty aroma, about 2 minutes, and then add the stock. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to steam for 5 minutes prior to removing the lid. Season with salt and pepper, and fluff with a fork before serving.
