Cumin Rice With Avocado Recipes

Steps:

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in large saucepan.
• Add butter, bouillon, and cumin, and stir until butter is melted.
• Add rice and reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender.
• Stir in picante sauce and heat through.
• Stir in avocado and onions just before serving.

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Season with salt. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and cook until sputtering, about 2 minutes. Pour cumin seeds and oil onto the hot rice and mix well.

Steps:

• In a teapot bring 3 cups of water to the boil.
• In a large saute pan, over medium heat dry roast the cumin powder first for 1 1/2 minutes then add the olive oil and rice; cooking for about 4-5 minutes until the rice is coated with the oil and cumin and glistens. (If using whole cumin seeds, dry roast, tranfer to coffee mill, pulverize then add back to pan.).
• Add enough boiling water to cover the rice by 1 1/2 inches. Add the salt. Reduce heat to low and cook the rice uncovered until you see small "craters" on the surface and water has evaporated. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
• Cover the pan tightly, remove from heat and let sit 20-25 minutes.
• After 25 minutes, if any water remains, boil off the water (being careful not to burn), but do not stir the rice while the excess water evaporates.
• Add more salt if needed.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over a medium-high heat. Drop in the cumin seeds, and cook until they splutter. Do not allow the cumin seeds to burn or become really dark brown in color. Add the rice and fry it in the oil for about 1 minute.
• Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the rice for approximately 15 minutes. If you feel the rice is getting burnt near the base of the pan as it cooks, one trick is to place the saucepan on another flat pan or griddle which is directly on the flame. Toss with a fork.
