Cilantro-Lime Rice Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of long-grain white rice and 1 tsp of salt. Stir once, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Fluff and Season

    Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork.

  3. 3

    Add Cilantro and Lime

    Stir in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and olive oil into the fluffed rice. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
