Turmeric is one of my favorite spices.  Besides many health benefits, including anti-imflammatory properties, it makes food taste good and I love the yellow hue it gives food.  I’ve been known to roast potatoes or cauliflour with it along with lemon juice and garlic then add fresh cilantro.  Delicious!

Here is a recipe I came up:

• -1 lb lean ground beef
• -one onion, chopped
• -one jalepeno, chopped
• -two cloves garlic, chopped
• -1 Tbsp. chili powder
• -1 tsp. cumin
• -1 tsp. turmeric
• -1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• -1 tsp. chili garlic sauce (or any hot sauce)
• -14 oz. can tomatoes
• -1 cup cooked white rice
• -1 Tbsp. pine nuts
• -salt and pepper, to taste

Brown meat with onions, jalepeno, and garlic.  Add rest of ingredients and sprinkle pine nuts on top.
