Spanish Fried Rice

Soak rice in hot water for 1/2 hour; drain well.

Spread in big shallow pan to dry a little, about 1 hour.

Cook bacon until crisp; crumble and set aside.

Add rice to drippings and cook until rice is lightly browned.

Add crumbled bacon, beef broth, tomato sauce, green pepper, onion, garlic and cumin seed.

Cover; cook over low heat, stirring now and then, until rice is done and liquid absorbed, about 30 minutes (add extra water if needed).
