Cilantro-Lime Rice

This is a simple and versitile side dish. Put it with anything you like, but I think it goes well with my Tequila Lime Chicken. 

Ingredients:

1 C. White Rice

1 Bunch Cilantro

1 Lime

Process:

Cook the Rice: Bring 2 Cups of water to a full boil. Add the rice and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes or until rice is tender and water is gone. Fluff with a fork and let stand, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, zest the lime then slice it into wedges. Also wash and chop the cilantro.

Transfer the warm rice to a mixing/serving bowl and add the lime zest, mix to incorporate. This will give a light hint of lime, if you like more lime (as you should) juice the lime wedges into the rice and mix to incorporate. Stir in the cilantro just before serving.

Enjoy!
