Cilantro Lime Rice
Cilantro Lime Rice is a delicious dish made with fluffy rice, zesty lime juice, and fresh cilantro. It's a popular side dish in Mexican and Latin American cuisine, known for its refreshing and vibrant flavors. The rice is typically cooked with a mixture of lime juice, cilantro, and sometimes a hint of garlic, giving it a bright and tangy taste. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or even as a filling for burritos or tacos.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water to remove any excess starch. Drain well.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Add the rinsed rice and a pinch of salt to the boiling water. Stir briefly, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the rice to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for about 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork, then add the fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Gently stir until well combined.
- Taste and season with salt as desired.
