How to Make Amazing Turkish Confetti Rice

  1. Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
  5. While the rice is simmering, prepare the confetti vegetables. Finely dice 1/2 cup of red bell pepper, 1/2 cup of green bell pepper, 1/4 cup of red onion, and 1/4 cup of fresh parsley.
  6. In a small bowl, gently toss the diced vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
  7. Once the rice is cooked, gently fluff it with a fork.
  8. Stir in the confetti vegetables and 2 tablespoons of butter. Gently mix to combine.
  9. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
