Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped seeds removed
2 cups chicken broth or 2 cups vegetable broth
3/4 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons fresh snipped cilantro
shredded cheese (Mexican, queso, cheddar, etc.) (optional)

Steps:

In a large saucepan heat the oil on medium-high heat. Saute onions until golden brown. About a minute before completing the onions, add garlic and jalapenos; saute another minute.
Add in uncooked rice, broth, cumin, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover the saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes or until liquid is gone and rice is tender and fluffy. Remove from heat. The longer you leave on the lid, the fluffier the rice will become. Add minced cilantro and stir gently.
