Cilantro Lime Rice

 Total Time:  25 minutes

1 cup extra long grain rice or basmati rice

1/2 lime (juice of)

2 cups water

1 tsp salt

3 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

3 tsp vegetable oil

1.  In a small heavy pot, add rice, water, 1 tsp oil and salt.

2. Boil on high until most of the water evaporates.  When the water just skims the top of the rice, reduce to low and cover about 20 minutes.

3.  Shut off flame and keep covered and additional 5 minutes.

4.  In a medium bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, rice and remaining oil and toss until completely mixed.  

Goes well with Barbacoa Beef and Corn Salsa
