Photo: Garlic Cilantro Lime Rice Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cups long-grain rice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 to 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- Juice of 3 limes and zest of 2 limes (hold back juice of 1 lime for garnish)
- Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the rice and salt. Cook over a low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to make sure the rice doesn't burn. Add 2 cups of the broth and the juice and zest of 2 limes and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the rice is done. Add more liquid as needed. The rice shouldn't be sticky.
Just before serving, stir through the juice of 1 lime and lots of chopped cilantro.

This is good, and my whole family likes it. BUT, at least at high altitude, this needs A LOT more time than 15 or 20 minutes. I kept adding a little extra water and turning up the heat to soften the rice. Next time I will add more liquid from the beginning and extend the cooking time by twice. Also, I use "Better than Broth" and I really made strong broth. You have to make sure it doesn't get to salty, but that extra chicken flavor was intense and delicious.

I served this yummy rice with grilled bacon wrapped filets and a cucumber, onion, and tomato salad, The flavors all complimented each other. The light sides were perfect for a hot Texas day!

I have been looking for an easy and delicious rice dish to accompany Mexican food. This is it! I added a can of rinsed black beans toward the end of the cook time. I ate the left overs for lunch the next day. Yummy!
