Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 large shallot, chopped (about 1/3 cup) |
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
2 cups jasmine rice |
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth |
one 3-inch-long piece orange zest, removed with a vegetable peeler |
1/2 cinnamon stick |
1/3 cup salted cashews, coarsely chopped |
1 scallion, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. 1. Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots, cumin and salt. Cook, stirring, until the shallots are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the rice until the grains are well coated with the buttery shallot mixture.
2. 2. Add the broth, orange zest and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, discarding the zest and cinnamon stick. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the cashews and scallions.
