"Rice doesn't have to be a boring side dish," declares Aurora, Colorado's Janice Mitchell. "Beef consomme and a dash of hot sauce really warm up this recipe for a moist, savory pilaf. It goes well with pork, beef or chicken."

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the rice always turns out perfect. I usually add some chopped vegetables to the rice, like carrots, peas, or bell peppers.

Easy and delicious! I'm not a big fan of cumin, but this recipe changed my mind. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the cumin added a nice warmth.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The cumin and turmeric give the rice a really nice flavor.

Not bad, but not great either. The rice was a bit bland and the cumin flavor was too subtle for my taste.

Meh. The rice was a bit dry and the cumin was overpowering. I think I'll stick to my usual rice recipe.
