    Place the washed rice and stock into your Le Creuset Pokémon 18cm Cocotte Every and place over medium heat with the lid on. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring often. Once cooked, turn off the heat and allow the rice to steam in the pot with the lid on for 5-8 minutes.

    Place the butter in a 3-ply Stainless Steel 24cm Deep Casserole. Melt and allow to slightly brown. It will have a slightly nutty fragrance when ready. Remove the butter from the heat and add the turmeric. While the butter is warm, add to the cooked rice and stir through. Season with salt and black pepper.

    Serving suggestion: Fried mince and caramelised onions would be a great addition to make this side dish a whole meal. Simply caramelise 1 large sliced onion and add 500g ground beef mince. Cook until golden and season with salt and black pepper. Serve with the fragrant turmeric rice.
