How To Make pink rice

  • Step 1
    First put your cubes in a bowl with a small amount of water and put in microwave long enough to melt cubes.Remove and stir till all dissolved.
  • Step 2
    Put enough oil to coat bottom of dutch oven.

  • Step 5
    Add your 3 cups of chicken broth and cumin,zest and lime juice.Stir
  • Step 6
    If you would like to add meat to this, now is the time,I use chopped chicken with this.If using add and stir.
  • Step 7
    You can stir this only till it comes to a boil,when this happens you put the lid on and turn fire to low.
  • Step 8
    Let it cook till all the liquid evaporates(you can tell this by using a fork to center and push the rice aside),taste and see if rice is done if not to your liking then add either more broth or water a small amount at a time till its done.You still do not stir.
  • Step 9
    Turn fire off when done and let sit for at least 5 minutes, then you can fluff your rice.
  • Step 10
