This aromatic cinnamon-spiced rice is a versatile dairy-free side dish that brings a sophisticated warmth to your dinner table. By gently frying the cumin seeds and cinnamon stick with onion and garlic, the oils are released to create a deep, savoury base. The long-grain rice absorbs these fragrant notes as it simmers, resulting in a fluffy and flavourful accompaniment that far surpasses plain boiled rice.
Perfect for pairing with Moroccan tagines, roasted chicken or spicy stews, this recipe is a simple way to elevate a weeknight meal. The addition of a little sugar and black pepper balances the earthy spices, making it a family favourite that fits into a healthy, homemade diet. Serve it steaming hot alongside your favourite protein for a comforting and complete meal.

Ingredients for Cinnamon-Spiced Rice
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 (2 1/2- to 3-inch) cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons olive oil
350ml long-grain white rice
550ml reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
How to make Cinnamon-Spiced Rice
Cook onion, garlic, cumin seeds, and cinnamon stick in oil in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until grains become slightly translucent, about 2 minutes.
Stir in broth, sugar, pepper, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and discard cinnamon stick if desired.
