Alex Elliott-Howery's tips

For ease, we often use low-sodium store-bought stock for this recipe. If your stock is very salty, then you may want to reduce the salt quantities when cooking. Homemade chicken stock or bone broth will take this rice to the next level, both in flavor and nutritional value.

Delicious, definitely cook it again.
This rice was very tasty, with a light sweetness from the onions and carrots. It was a welcome change from our standard white rice, kids enjoyed it! I only added 1/4 tsp of turmeric. Served it with the Lebanese chicken skewers (not skewered)

Great rice recipe. Made a good combination with falafel and zucchini. The butter gave it a lovely taste. Used whey instead of stock.

The feedback at home is pretty conclusive! I’ve been told it’s yummy and that we need to have it again. 😂 We had it with a local free range pork rissole and the flavours were beautiful together.

Super easy, super tasty and the perfect veggie packed side - especially for middle eastern food. The carrot gives the rice some beautiful moisture. I used basmati rice, served it with lamb and sprinkled some dukkah and parsley on top.

Delicious, easy and love the added veggies. Both my kids asked for more. I served this with some roast chicken and roast veg. So good! Will be making regularly. Can't fault the recipe, so easy to follow. I made this with Jasmine rice and it worked a treat. I did disturb it after 10 mins of cooking just to stir to ensure it wasn't burning underneath.
