YUM! First let me give you a very helpful hint!! Cooking rice on the stove in a saucepan can be very tricky.. most of the time I either let it stick to the pan and burn a good portion of it or I add too much water so that it turns out "soupy" or if I try to let the water cook out of it I cook it too much and the rice becomes mushy.. but I have finally figured out the secret and I won't ever have these problems again! I cooked the rice following the steps in the recipe.. After cooking it for almost 15 minutes it was really starting to stick so I added 1/4 cup of warm water. It cooked out fairly quickly but the rice didn't stick as much.. After the 25 minutes of cooking it was still somewhat hard so I turned the heat off and let it sit there covered for another 10 minutes. The steam in the pan cooked the rice until it was done and since the stove wasn't on it didn't burn! Maybe most of you know this secret but I really thought I had made a break-through in the the cooking world today! Back to the actual recipe-- it was fantastic! I added a chicken bouillon, mccormicks seasoning salt and paprika. I also skipped the cilantro at then end because we don't care much for it. The cumin really gave it a good flavor! It went perfectly well with our ribeye steaks and garlic bread. Absolutely worth 5 stars! Thank you very much Elizabeth we will be making this again!
