For the Rice:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 3 cups short grain rice, cooked

For the Gratin:

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 3/4 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 ounces mozzarella or white cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

To make the Rice:

  1. In a saucepan melt butter and then add turmeric and salt. Add in rice, tossing to combine until rice is completely covered. Remove from pan and set aside.

To make the Gratin:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil. Grease a 8x8 casserole dish and pour in the rice, set on top of the cookie sheet and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan set over medium-low heat, melt butter. Once melted, whisk in flour, creating a paste.
  3. Slowly whisk in whole milk, this will make a thick sauce. Whisk in nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper. Add in half of the cheese.
  4. Pour on top of the rice and then cover with remaining cheese.
  5. Bake in the oven until the top is golden and a bit crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy.
