Yellow Rice (Begrafnisrys) image

"Begrafnisrys" actually means "Funeral Rice". In the old days people came from very far, with buggies and oxwagons and horses, to attend funerals. These people had to be fed, and enormous amounts of food were prepared. One of the regular dishes at funeral dinners was this yellow rice, which is now an old traditional dish and definitely not associated with funerals any more! It goes very well with corned meats or deep dish pies.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think I'll add some of my own personal touches next time. Maybe some more vegetables or a different spice blend.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the rice came out gummy. I'll have to try this recipe again.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I ended up burning the rice.

The rice was a little dry, but the chicken was very flavorful. I think I'll try cooking the rice in a different way next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
