Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium. Add diced carrots and cook, stirring, until edges soften, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in turmeric, then add rinsed rice and lentils. Stir constantly until grains turn slightly opaque, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in broth, season with salt and pepper, then stir once. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low.

  4. Step 4

    Simmer covered until rice and lentils are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in frozen peas, cover, and let sit off heat for 2 minutes until peas are heated through.

  6. Step 6

    Fluff with a fork and serve hot.
