Equipment
- large pot
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup onion diced small
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice rinsed and drained
- 2 ¼ cups water
- ¼ cup pine nuts

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
- Sauté the onions until softened and slightly translucent.
- To the pot, add the garlic, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper, and rice. Stir frequently for a few minutes, or until the rice becomes translucent.
- Bring to a simmer with the water. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and gently simmer the rice until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
