    This rice is a delicious mix of cumin and cinnamon. It provides a nice, slightly sweet flavor, that is a perfect complement to any middle eastern dish. The only dishes I would avoid serving this with are sweet dishes with dates, figs, etc. I served it with my Braised Lamb with Beans. It was great!

    Ingredients

    • 1 med onion, chopped
    • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
    • 3/4 tsp cumin seeds
    • 1 (3 inch) cinnamon stick
    • 2 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1 1/2 cups long grain rice
    • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    • 3/4 tsp sugar
    • 3/4 tsp black pepper
    • 1 tsp salt

    Directions

    1. Cook onion, garlic, cumin seeds, and cinnamon stick in oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir until onion softens - 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
    2. Stir in the broth, sugar, pepper, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tencer and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
    3. Remove and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and discard cinnamon stick if desired.

          I really liked this. It seems like it would be great for breakfast.
          I ran out of chicken broth so I finished it off with vegetable broth...works just as well...
