Cilantro Lime Rice

Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken broth or water
• 2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups white rice (I used basmati long grain rice)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 cups fresh cilantro, stemmed and diced

Instructions

1. In a small heavy pot bring chicken broth to a boil.
2. Add butter, salt and rice. Stir for one minute, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer.
3. Cook rice 15-18 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is cooked through.
4. Once cooked, let rice sit with lid on for 10 minutes.
5. Fluff rice with a fork. Add lime juice and cilantro, stir and serve.

Notes

Storage: Keep your leftover Cilantro Lime Rice fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days! By the second or third day, the cilantro may appear darker in color, but that’s alright – it’s still safe to eat and tastes delicious. You can also freeze the rice for up to 3 months.
