Preparation

1

Place the Dainty Conditioned (parboiled) rice in the bowl of a rice cooker. Combine the vegetable broth, ground cumin, and salt and pepper and cook.

2

Meanwhile, heat a small sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 mins. Pour into the rice when done. Add the beans to the rice and stir everything together.

3

Meanwhile, in a small blender, combine the cilantro, mint, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, lime juice, and cumin. Blend until smooth. If it’s too dry, add a couple splashed of water. Season with salt to taste.

4

To serve, Place the rice into the center of a large board. Place a combination of the optional additions around and on top of the rice. Make sure to serve with the sauces, and at least one of the salads of pickled vegetables. Serve with the flatbreads on the side to stuff, roll, and eat.
