  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 sweet yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter

  1. Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Melt 1 more tablespoon butter with onions and garlic; stir chili powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, and nutmeg into mixture. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
