Step by step

  1. Cook the rice following the packaging instructions, with the turmeric added to the cooking water.
  2. While the rice is cooking, melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the leeks until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Let the rice cool down, spoon it into a large mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Mix well to combine and season to taste.
  5. Serve hot or cold – both options are tasty and filling.

 

Recipe note: You can add some crunch to your pilaf with either chopped celery, toasted almonds or pistachio nuts or a mix of sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
