Carrot-Ginger Rice

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of basmati rice
• 2 cups of chicken broth
• 2 tsp of olive oil
• 1/2 sweet yellow onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled & grated
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled & minced
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• Dash of cayenne pepper (or more if desired)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Combine the rice and chicken broth together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and steam for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until tender. Add the carrot, ginger, and garlic to the onions and cook, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes. Add the rice to the mixture along with the cilantro, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and dash of cayenne pepper. Stir gently so all ingredients are well combined. Serve immediately.
