Rice with Corn


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 199

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups hot tap water
2 ears medium fresh corn
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a 2-quart wide saucepan or deep skillet. When the oil shimmers, add the rice and cook, stirring, until the rice is opaque and starts to change color, but doesn't brown, about 5 minutes. Add the liquid all at once, stir and bring to a boil.

2. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice stand 5 minutes. Stick a fork into the bottom of the pan to check for remaining moisture. If just dry on the bottom, fluff the rice with the fork and serve. If not, cover and let stand 5 more minutes.

4. Meanwhile, cook the corn in a large pot of boiling water, 5 minutes. Cool under cold running water. Cut off the kernels and discard the cobs. Add the corn kernels, butter, salt, and cumin to the rice. Mix gently and serve hot.
