Lime & Cilantro Rice

[Mr. Green Jeans]

1 cup long grain white rice
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup water
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Drizzle of olive oil

Combine water, broth, rice & EVOO in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, cover stirring ocassionally for 15 - 20 minutes. When rice is nearly cooked, add cilantro and lime juice remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.

<Have yet to try this using brown rice. My guess is because of the additiona cooking time up the broth and water 1/4 cup each.>

This rice Rocks! I'd forgotten about it. I change mine out a bit and add lime zest, sometimes a little chopped onion too. I've also made lemon/lime rice. Instead of cilantro, sometimes I add fresh parsley. One of my fave ways to serve it, is with salmon & roasted cherry tomatoes.

This sounds like something I'd love, and it's easy thanks Mike

 

[Mr. Green Jeans]

CC, have you made it using brown rice?

 

[CaliforniaCook]

No. Sorry, I have not. Made brown rice (Mahatma?) years ago, cooked it for close to an hour; and it didn't come out quite right. Maybe this will help to adapt the recipe re ratio of rice to water/liquid, time, etc.:

Mr. GJ - is this similar to the rice they serve at Chipotle Grill? One of the best meals I had when I was in the US last month was at a Chipotle Grill in Washington, DC...funny to leave Mexico and go to the US to eat Mexican food. Maybe I was just homesick. Anyway, I had a rice bowl and it was yummy.

This sounds wonderful! Would love to make it tonight to go with our salmon, but I don't have any cilantro. Next time, for sure!
