Recipe Instructions

Cook.
Place butter and oil in a sauce pan over a medium heat.  Melt the butter and add the garlic and onion and cook until the onion is tender.

Add the rice and cook for 3 minutes stirring constantly.  The rice is cooked when it looks milky and opaque.

Add the salt, oregano, cumin, turmeric and chicken broth and bring to the boil.  Cover and reduce the heat to allow the mixture to simmer for 20 – 25 minutes until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.

Prepare the avocado.
Peel and pip the avocado and dice into small pieces.  Fluff up the rice with a fork and add the avocado tossing gently while still on the stove. Remove from the stove.

Serve.
Leave to stand for 5 minutes and then serve.
