Try our flavorful cilantro lime rice, surpassing Chipotle's. Watch and make tonight!
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups basmati long grain white rice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of one lime
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 cup lightly packed chopped cilantro, leaves and tender stems
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add raw rice and stir well to coat with the fragrant oil. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice turns a golden brown. Introduce garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  • To infuse flavors and cook the rice perfectly, combine water, salt, and fresh lime zest in a pot with the rice. Allow it to come to a lively boil, then cover and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 15 minutes without stirring, following the instructions on your rice package. Remove from heat and rest for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice using a fork before serving.
  • Combine lime juice and cilantro with rice: Place the rice in a serving bowl, drizzle lime juice over it, and mix in chopped cilantro. Serve alongside chicken, steak, shrimp, or Mexican and Asian dishes. Please rate and review if you liked this recipe!
