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!

  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...
