Categories     Rice Sides

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c vegetable broth or chicken broth
2 fresh bay leaves
2 fresh oregano sprigs
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 medium shallots, peeled and finely minced
1 c brown texmati rice (read recipe intro)
1 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1 medium carrot, sliced into thin rounds (thicker slices if using brown rice)
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Gently warm the vegetable broth, bay leaves and oregano sprigs in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • 2. Heat up the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallots, cooking until softened and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
  • 3. Next add the Texmati rice and cumin seeds; cook until the rice is opaque and the cumin seeds are fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  • 4. Stir in the carrot rounds and salt.
  • 5. Pour the warmed broth into the rice mixture. Stir, bring to a BOIL, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. If using brown Texmati rice, you will have to cook the rice for about 45-50 minutes. If using standard Texmati or basmati, cook for about 20 minutes.
  • 6. Remove skillet from burner and set aside, covered for 10 minutes.
  • 7. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired, fluff with fork and serve.

This pilaf was easy to make and turned out great! The carrots added a nice sweetness and the cumin gave it a warm, earthy flavor. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.
