Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well and set aside.

  2. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, and turmeric, and cook for another minute to toast the spices.

  4. Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat it in the aromatic mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.

  5. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

  6. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.

  7. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro and serve.
