Jeera Cumin Rice
Fragrant basmati rice flavored with toasted cumin seeds and a hint of ghee or oil. A staple side in Indian cuisine, it's simple yet aromatic and pairs well with curries and dals.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 cup dry jasmine rice
- 1 3/4 cups water salt to taste
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over a medium-high heat. Drop in the cumin seeds, and cook until they splutter. Do not allow the cumin seeds to burn or become really dark brown in color. Add the rice and fry it in the oil for about 1 minute.
- Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the rice for approximately 15 minutes. If you feel the rice is getting burnt near the base of the pan as it cooks, one trick is to place the saucepan on another flat pan or griddle which is directly on the flame. Toss with a fork.

We combine a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce and shredded rotisserie chicken with sweet and tender strands of spaghetti squash. We add goat cheese for extra tanginess, but you can swap it out for feta cheese or fresh mozzarella if you prefer.

Some rosemary twigs are very flimsy; you want the kind that are like a small twig, which will be strong enough to hold the shrimp. **Use the exact same marinade on chicken breasts and whole chickens for roasting. It's also great on any white fish fillet; just add a couple of tablespoons of butter to the pan drippings after the fish has been cooked and removed. Drizzle the sauce over the fish and serve! ***The chipotle chile is a smoked, dried jalapeno.
