Cilantro Lime Rice
Cilantro Lime Rice
Original Recipe by Goodies & Guests
I cannot get enough of cilantro. I wish I could put it in everything. I might even say it’s my favorite herb (basil gives it a run for its money). I think cilantro just goes so perfectly with any summer dish because it tastes so fresh especially when combined with lime! I like to put this in tacos (like Chipotle) or just serve as a side dish. Great with Citrus Ginger Chicken Tenders or Asian Chicken Skewers.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Rice
2 Cups Chicken Broth or Water
Salt to taste (if using water)
2 TBS Butter
Juice & Zest for 1 Lime
¼ Cup chopped Cilantro
Instructions:
Step 1: Put rice, broth or water, and butter in a medium saucepan, uncovered, on high. Bring to a boil.
Step 2: As soon as it starts boiling, give it a quick stir, cover, and turn to low. Let simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 3: After the 20 minutes, take a quick peek at the rice, if there are steam holes in the rice, then it’s done and fluff with a fork or chop stick (if you use a spoon, the rice will get gooey). If there are no steam holes, let it cook for a few more minutes.
Step 4: Take pan off the stove and let sit for a few minutes the with a fork stir in the lime juice & zest and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Serve in tacos or with citrus ginger chicken tenders.
