I cooked this recipe as written and I found the cumin to be very overpowering. The rice was also a little dry. It was good, but not great. I will try this again and adjust the spices and rerate then.

wanted a quick & easy lunch and had all the ingredients on hand. I used vegetable bullion instead of the chicken broth with 14 oz water, and also stirred in fresh cilantro, some roma tomatoes, and a little parmesan in before serving. Delicious! If you make a whole meal out of it I would say this serves 2 people. The cumin makes this a good dish for cold days. Thanks for posting!
