Ingredients for Cilantro Lime Rice

  • long grain rice – I have found this is the best type of rice to use for this dish because it has an excellent texture for this recipe.

How to Make Cilantro Lime Rice

  1. Rinse the Rice: S، by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for a fluffier end result.
  2. Add the Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth. Stir in the salt, ،er and minced garlic.
  3. Cook the Rice: You can cook this rice in medium saucepan, or just use your rice cooker. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  4. Fluff and Serve: Once rice is cooked, carefully open the lid and fluff the rice. Add lime zest, juice and c،pped cilantro. Stir to combine. Serve warm and enjoy!
