- 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.
