Cilantro Lime Rice

-Angie Roberts (Lincoln Friend)
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2/3 cup white basmati rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lime, juiced (please use the real thing here it is so much better)
  1. In a saucepan, heat oil until hot
  2. Add rice and stir for 1 minute, you are basically frying the rice in this step.
  3. Add lime juice, stir for 1 minute more.
  4. Add water and salt, bring to a boil
  5. Cover and turn down to simmer until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 18-20 minutes. Do not over cook this or it gets mushy.
  6. Add in the cilantro, stir, and serve

I couldn't find the rice called for in the recipe, so I used regular rice that needed to be cooked for a while. So delicious!!!!!
