Quick and simple way to add some extra flavor to plain old white rice. This was something I threw together to go with some fajitas I had made. I usually make this rice in my rice cooker, but it works on the stove top as well. I've used regular long grain rice, or parboiled, both work fine.
Ingredients:
2 cups white rice
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon oregano
2 -3 tablespoons dried onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon spicy cajun seasoning (mine is not this brand, but i'm sure something with ingredients like emeril's essence will work just) (optional)
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
4 -6 ounces chevre cheese (soft goat cheese)
Directions:
1. Mix dry rice, spices and dried onions.
2. Cook rice according to package directions, either on stove top or in rice cooker.
3. Fluff rice with fork.
4. Add cheese to warm rice and let melt a bit.
5. Add cilantro and combine well.
