CUMIN RICE WITH AVOCADO



Cumin Rice With Avocado image

A colorful, healthy side dish for any meal. Chopped cilantro would be a great addition! This is from Light & Tasty's Feb/March 2005 issue. I haven't tried it yet, but I think it would be really good with burritos or fajitas.

Categories     side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion (5 ounces), chopped (about 1 cup)
2 or 3 large garlic cloves, peeled, crushed and chopped (2 teaspoons)
2 cups long-grain converted rice
1 tablespoon ground cumin
4 cups unsalted, homemade chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan with a lid. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the onions and saute them for 30 seconds.
  • Add the garlic; then, stir in the rice and cumin. Stir well to coat the grains of rice with the oil, and then add the chicken stock or broth. Bring to a boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, over high heat. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. The liquid should be completely absorbed by the rice, which should be tender.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it with the cusk.
