Mandarin Turmeric Rice
"I don't usually like mixing fruit with savoury dishes but this recipe caught my eye, it's even simpler to do if you throw the rice & turmeric in the rice cooker and then stir through the remaining ingredients at the keep warm stage.."

Easy easy! Nice flavor. I made it with diced mangoes and loved that! I also sauteed the shallots which added depth. thanks for the basic recipe. It can be varied in so many ways. Ivy -
So easy! What can I say, it really doesn't get any easier, and you enjoy a colourful taste sensation. The mandarins are not at all over powering, just a hint of sweetness, and the cashews area wonderful addition, I served this with stir-fried veggies but I would happily eat it just like that, as well. Would go beautifully with creamy Thai curried chicken or shrimps, as well. I stirred in some chopped fresh coriander as well, we like coriander! Thanks, Mandy, for a really nice recipe! NB, I didn't use 8 cups of water.... I cooked the rice in the microwave, so just went for the usual 2 cups water to one of rice, ratio, that works for me. so it may have given me a slightly different texture, but it was very good!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
