Step 1

Set a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the butter to the pot. Once melted, add the rice, ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Step 2

Sauté the rice for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat all the grains in melted butter.

Step 3

Add the salsa to the pot. Then fill the salsa jar with water and pour the water into the pot. Stir well.

Step 4

Cover the top with a tight lid. Bring to a boil. Then stir the rice, lower the heat to simmer on low, and cover the pot again.

Step 5

Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir the rice again to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Then cover and simmer another 5-10 minutes until the liquid has absorbed and there are vent holes in the top of the rice.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat and allow the rice to sit and steam another 5 minutes. Then fluff with a fork and serve warm.
