We all have our favorite restaurant recipes. Since the Air Force has moved us to a rather restaurant-desolate city, it’s been my goal to recreate some of our favorites at home. With the nearest Chipotle about 2 hours away, the dish is a great, healthier substitute for their delicious rice and makes a great side dish!
1 cup long-grain or Jasmine rice
Juice of 1 lime
2 cups chicken broth or water
1 tsp. salt
3 T. fresh cilantro, minced
3 tsp. vegetable oil
In a medium pot, add rice, 1 tsp. oil, broth, and salt. Boil on high until most of the water evaporates. When the water just skims the top of the rice, reduce to low, cover, and simmer about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit an additional 5 minutes.
In a medium glass bowl, combine cilantro, lime juice, and remaining oil. Toss with rice until completely mixed.
