Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Fluff and Add Lime

    Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the butter, lime juice, and lime zest to the cooked rice. Fluff the rice with a fork to incorporate the butter and lime.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, stir in fresh cilantro for added flavor. Serve warm as a side dish.
