Add a photoThis 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
