Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 bunch sliced scallion whites

1/2 tablespoon ground cumin

1/2 tablespoon ground coriander

1 cup dry basmati rice

2 cups water

1 can diced tomatoes

1 bunch chopped scallion greens

Sweat the scallion whites, cumin and coriander in oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the scallions soften (5 minutes).
