Southwestern Rice

A simple rice dish full of Southwestern Flavour.

Serving: Makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients

1 cup basmati rice
2 cups tomato juice
1 tbsp cumin seed oil
1 small diced red onion
1 whole red pepper diced
2 cobs corn (kernals removed and cobs discarded)
4 chopped green onions
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 lime Juice only
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Put rice and tomato juice into a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Turn heat down, cover with a lid and simmer until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.  Toss with fork and let cool slightly.

Heat cumin seed oil in a large skillet.  When it begins to smoke, add onions and peppers and sauté quickly until they are softened and slightly caramelized.  Add corn and continue to cook for about 3 minutes.  Add rice, season with salt and pepper and stir-fry until incorporated.  Stir in green onions, cilantro and lime juice and adjust seasoning.

    Excellent rice side dish! I didn’t have cumin seed oil but I added some cumin with the tomato juice.
