Method

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and peppers until the onion is translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, and rice and stir to combine.
Add the hot broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Fluff and serve.
