It’s no secret that turmeric is one of my favorite spices. (I even made a very limited batch of turmeric soap once!)

It’s got beautiful color, amazing taste, and has indisputable anti-inflammatory benefits.

So next time you have some left-over rice, here’s an idea: turmeric fried rice.

ingredients:

1 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil*

1 shallot*, chopped

1/4 white onion*, chopped

2 large cloves garlic*, minced

handful steamed kale*, torn into small pieces

2 cups cooked white rice* (I used jasmine basmati)

1/2 tsp turmeric*

sea salt, to taste

directions: Sauté shallot, onion, and garlic together in pan on medium-low heat with about a tbsp of olive oil.  After about 10 minutes add kale and sauté for another few minutes.  Add rice, turmeric, & salt and stir to combine.  Add the rest of the olive oil and continue to cook for approx. 10 more minutes to lightly fry the rice.  Serve & enjoy!
