SPICY STEAMED RICE WITH CUMIN AND LIME JUICE



Spicy Steamed Rice With Cumin and Lime Juice image

I initially got part of this combination from a Food Network show, and have added a few things along the way. I call it "Spicy Rice" and my husband loves it. It makes normal steamed rice much less bland. The step by step process allows all the ingredients to cook into the rice. I usually take into consideration the entree I'm serving it with before I add the Cajun Seasoning. It's a personal preference. All ingredient amounts can be adjusted according to taste.

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup long-grain white rice
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cajun seasoning (optional)
1 teaspoon lime juice, divided
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a medium to large saucepan until melted. Add rice and toast for a minute or so until the butter has been absorbed.
  • Add cumin, Cajun seasoning (if desired), and 1/2 teaspoon of the lime juice. Continue to cook, tossing rice constantly so it does not burn, until the rice absorbs the lime juice. Add the remaining lime juice and the soy sauce and repeat this process.
  • When all liquid has been absorbed, add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly so rice does not stick together. Reduce to low, cover, and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until all of the chicken broth has been absorbed by the rice. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Start with the best rice you can find, and use fresh, flavorful cumin. This will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Rinse the rice: This will remove the starch from the rice, which will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Toast the cumin seeds: This will bring out their flavor and aroma. Be careful not to burn them, as this will make them bitter.
  • Use a good ratio of rice to water: This is important for getting the right texture of rice. For every cup of rice, you will need 1 1/2 cups of water.
  • Cook the rice over low heat: This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Rice and cumin is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it is also a very affordable meal. If you are looking for a quick and easy recipe that is also healthy and flavorful, then rice and cumin is a great option.
