Zesty Green Chili and Broccoli Rice Bowl

1.Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.

2.In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3.Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4.Stir in the chopped tomatoes and sliced green chilies, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

5.Add the broccoli florets to the pot and stir well, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

6.Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing everything together.

7.Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

8.Once boiling, add the rinsed rice, stir well, and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

9.Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

10.Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
