How to Make Armenian Rice
- In a large skillet, brown 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green pepper, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped carrots until softened.
- Transfer the browned vegetables to a 4-quart casserole dish.
- Add 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 4 cups chicken broth to the casserole dish. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Bake in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 3 hours, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Check the rice after 2 hours and add a little extra broth if it seems dry.
- Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious and historic recipe!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
