Easy Spanish Yellow Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons shallots or 2 tablespoons yellow onions, chopped
2 teaspoons vegetable oil or 2 teaspoons butter
1 -3 garlic clove (depending on taste)
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice, rinsed
2 1/4 2 1/4 cups chicken broth or 2 1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
frozen peas (amount to taste)
cilantro

Preparation

Heat oil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.
Add the shallots and garlic and cook until they start to brown, around 2-3 minutes.
Add rice, broth, tumeric, and salt. Add frozen peas; I usually add enough to cover the surface of the broth (you can gauge this by adding them little by litte, they usually float to the top). Bring to a boil; this may take a few minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender and liquid is absorbed, this takes anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes depending on tastes and your stove!
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a little extra flavor.
