Lima Bean Dill Rice
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice, dry
- 1 cup frozen baby lima beans
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp whole cumin seeds
- 2 tsps fresh or dried dill
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the package instructions, I used a rice cooker.
- In a pan on medium heat, thaw your lima beans until they are warm all the way through.
- Move the lima beans to the side of the pan and add the olive oil and cumin seeds directly in the oil. Temper the seeds for about 30 seconds till they are fragrant and golden, be careful not to burn them.
- Turn off the heat and mix together the beans and cumin seeds. Add in the cooked rice, dill and sea salt.
- Mix gently till well combined, taste to adjust any seasoning. Server warm. Enjoy!
Notes
If you are oil-free or want to make this even easier, throw everything in the rice cooker together without the olive oil! It won't taste quite as good, and you'll miss some textural magic, but I've definitely done this when making it just for myself.
