Lebanese Turmeric Rice in the TM6
Pane-Bistecca
There are many varieties of rice, and this Lebanese turmeric rice goes well with a wide range of dishes. Its vibrant color makes it a real eye-catcher on any table!
I cooked the rice in my Thermomix, however you can cook it also in a pan.
Turmeric is a root belonging to the ginger family. Curcumin, the substance traditionally extracted from the plant, acts as a flavoring agent and a yellow coloring, used, amongst other things, to color food. There are around 120 taxonomically recognized species, most of which originate from South and South-East Asia.
Incidentally, turmeric has a beautiful flower that immediately brings to mind orchids.
This recipe takes part in Volkermampft Culinary World Tour, which is visiting Lebanon this month.

Ingredients
350 g Basmati Rice
2 tbsp Ghee
1 Onion, chopped
2 tsp Turmeric
½ tsp Cumin Powder
500 ml Broth
1 ½ tsp Salt
1 can Chickpeas
2 tbsp roasted Pine Nuts
3 Dates, chopped or Raisins
Instructions
1
Step 1
Rinse the rice thoroughly until there is no starch left. If the starch remains, the rice will become mushy. Then add a little water to the bowl with the rice (just a little, not right to the top) and leave it to soak for 2 hours; it will absorb the water.

Step 2
Add the onion to the TM6 bowl and chop for 5 seconds/speed 8. Push down with the spatula.

Step 3

Step 4
Mix in the rice, pour in the stock, add the rinsed chickpeas and select the ‘Cook Rice’ function. The rice will cook on its own.
