Cardamom And Fennel Flavored Rice Recipes

CARDAMOM AND FENNEL FLAVORED RICE

Steps:

• Put all ingredients into a sauce pan.
• Bring water to the boil.
• Cover with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce heat to the lowest possible setting at which it will still simmer.
• Do not disturb for 15 minutes and do not remove the lid!
• After this time, remove the pan from the heat, and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
• Do not remove the lid!
• When the standing time has elapsed you may now remove the lid.
• Fluff with a fork, and add salt and pepper to taste.

EASY AND SIMPLE CARDAMOM RICE

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the water and bouillon and stir well. (The idea of the small amount of bouillon is to barely flavor and salt the liquid, but not to make the rice taste "chickeny." You can increase the amount of bouillon if you like, but I think it was perfect this way.) Bring to boiling.
• Add the remaining ingredients, stir, and allow to boil together for 1 minute.
• Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let sit for 20 minutes. It's done! Fluff the rice and serve.
• Note: if you don't have chicken bouillon or vegetarian chicken bouillon, you can probably use 2 cups water and 1 cup chicken broth instead, with much the same result.
