1
Cook the Brown Rice
In a medium-sized pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
2
Prepare the Cilantro Lime Mixture
While the rice is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
3
Combine Rice and Mixture
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, then add the chopped cilantro and the cilantro lime mixture. Stir until well combined.
4
Serve
Transfer the cilantro lime brown rice to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish or base for your favorite protein.
