Ingredients
- 3 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 pinch ground cumin
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Add the rice, coriander and cumin and cook, stirring, until the rice is coated and light golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and 1 cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low; cook for 16 minutes, then let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the cilantro, parsley and salt and pepper to taste.

Reviews
Great! Really good with the taco chicken.
Obsessed. This is a perfect side dish. Not too over flavored and it’s so easy to make. I love the fact that even the bacon is cooked in the same pot. It came out perfect just as the recipe was written. I personally wouldn’t change a thing. I have a 1 1/2 and 4 year old boys and they went in for seconds.
This looks like a really good recipe, but 2 cups liquid to 1 1/2 cups rice doesn’t quite compute. The bacon is a really good idea, though. For 35 years I’ve done twice the amount of liquid to rice faithfully and even people who don’t really favor rice like my rice.
I had really high expectations and those fell short when I finished making the recipe. It was lacking in flavor…next time I will double the cumin and coriander, add some garlic and maybe a squeeze of lime or lemon at the very end.
Made this for guests and it was a hit! Will make this for a long time as our kids love them some rice.
I really love this recipe, but my family doesn’t eat pork at all! I tried it with turkey bacon but it just didn’t taste the way I thought it would! I then tried it with ground turkey and beef. It was absolutely amazing!
