This pilaf recipe is a fantastic way to elevate some regular white rice. The key is toasting the rice to add depth of flavor; throw in some onion and spices and you've got a spectacular (and simple) pilaf.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
1 cup long grain white rice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cups water
salt and pepper, to taste

directions

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft.

Add the rice to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes or until the rice starts to lightly brown.

Add the cumin and coriander and mix well. Let cook for 1 minute. Add the water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let cook for 15 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
