Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking: 20 minutes

Total: 30 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups of long grain white rice
4 cups of chicken broth
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup of frozen peas
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Saute until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice, cumin, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the rice with the spices.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
Serve the Cuban-style yellow rice hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
