Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly in cold water to remove excess starch.
2
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
3
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the oil and sauté until translucent.
4
Add the rice and stir well to coat each grain with the spiced onion mixture.
5
Pour in 400 ml of water, add salt and a pinch of black pepper, then bring to a boil.
6
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
7
Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
8
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the cumin rice before serving.
