Preparation
- Step 1
Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the rice, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir briefly over low heat until the grains are coated with butter.
- Step 2
Stir in the broth and make sure there are no lumps in the rice. Add the parsley, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer over low heat. Cook for 17 minutes.
- Step 3
Discard the parsley and thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Using a fork, stir in the remaining butter. If the rice is not to be served immediately, keep it warm.

Highly recommend this recipe. Easy, so flavorful. Used dried parsley and thyme as no fresh on hand.
This is one of the best rice dishes ever created. It is so flavorful plus accompanies many entree dishes so well when you are seeking something slightly different from plain rice. I use Jasmine rice because I like the fluffiness of it. Plus I always make an extra recipe or 2 of rice because kids find it just as yum yum as adults.
