minutesThis rice is very versatile! I love how it goes perfectly with Pulled Pork salads, or as a side dish with Grilled Salmon. The rice is flavorful with the lime juice adding a freshness to the subtle flavor of the boullion and cumin. Sometimes I add a few tablespoons of chopped cilantro. I like to make this in my rice cooker, but works great on the stove.

3 tablespoons butter, sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
