Cooking method
I personally adore this dish. It is healthy, low-calorie, healthy, bright and tasty.
And cooking it in a slow cooker is fast and easy enough. Moreover, this way the rice turns out to be well crumbly and with a rich taste.
The fact is that it is not always possible to cook rice in a saucepan so that it does not stick together and does not look like ordinary porridge.
Such food can be safely prepared for vegetarians, and those who observe fasts, only at the same time replace butter with vegetable oil.
Let's start cooking.
1. Take the rice first and rinse it in water. You can even do it several times. Drain the water.
2. Now let's do the onions and carrots. They need to be cleaned, washed and cut: onions are quite small, and carrots into small cubes.
3. Then put our vegetables on the bottom of the bowl of the slow cooker, and before that add butter and lightly fry them until golden brown.
4. The next step is to put our washed rice on top of the vegetables. Spread it evenly over the surface.
5. Pour water gently on top, add sea salt and turmeric.
6. Set the "pilaf" mode on the slow cooker and cook for 40 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, you can prepare some fresh juicy salad or sauce for our future dish.
When the multi-cooker turns off, then our rice with carrots and onions will be ready.
People who adhere to a vegan diet can replace butter with unrefined coconut oil. It will also be delicious and fragrant!
I also added turmeric, because I like that the rice gets a beautiful yellow hue and a little sharpness. You can add your favorite seasonings. It can be hops-suneli or curry, or just ground black pepper. You can also add garlic for flavor.
And I also like to sprinkle the finished dish with fresh herbs: dill, green onions, parsley. Maybe you like cilantro or basil. There is a space for experimentation here. Feel free to try different spices and herbs. To get your favorite unique taste!
Bon appetit!
