Cilantro and Lime Rice

  • 1-2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 sweet yellow onion, diced
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long grained rice (brown or white)
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon granules
  • 1 large handful of cilantro, chopped
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until soft and tender. 

Add the rice and garlic then cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes. 

Add the water and chicken bouillon granules, bring to a boil over high heat, cover and reduce the heat, and simmer, until tender, about 20-25 minutes for white rice and 40-45 minutes for brown rice. 

Remove from heat and mix with the cilantro, lime juice, and zest. Enjoy.
