Yellow Rice is a super versatile dish that works well with all sorts of cuisines.

I used Jasmine rice for this recipe because it’s what I had on hand but other varieties of rice work just as well.

The addition of red peppers and savory seasonings make this rice an especially tasty accompaniment to Mexican and Indian main dishes.
