Fragrant, flavorful, and a staple side dish in Cuban cuisine, yellow rice takes its color from annatto, a natural coloring made from the seeds of a small Central American shrub. Add peas and garnish with pimento slices for authentic Caribbean style.

White rice is the main side dish made in Brazil. This is the way my mom would make it and taught my sister and I. What makes this so different is that we fry it in oil with minced onion and garlic before adding water. You can also use part water, part chicken broth. The secret is to not let it overcook because it should come out loose and not sticky.

This beautiful rice is infused with onion, a few bay leaves and peas while it simmers and cooks on the stove. The result is a fragrant and very pretty rice pilaf. Serves four.

This is the recipe for my grandma's rice. Being Hispanic, this is about as Mexican as you can get. Good as a side dish, or in a taco with ground beef.

South African Yellow Rice

Submitted by: DEONI 
This is a traditional South African recipe, which comes from the great culinary tradition of the Cape Malays -- originally brought in as slaves in the 17th century. It's easy and plain, but great with meats like venison, corned beef tongue or any meat with gravy. Also usually served with Bobotie: There is a good recipe by Caryn on this site. 

Jeera (Cumin) Rice

Submitted by: MEDHALEE 
Cumin seeds are fun to cook with, they come alive when you drop them in hot oil, and they impart a very special flavor to this rice. Use your imagination if you 'd like to add other tastes to this already tasty dish. Grated carrots, raisins, ginger or cinnamon would be nice.
