How to make the best cilantro lime rice that tastes even better than your favorite restaurants! Substituting stock or broth for the water adds additional flavor. We love using chicken or vegetable broth. If you use stock, add salt to taste since the stock may already have some salt added.
Ingredient:
- 1 ½ cups (280g) long-grain white rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter, plus more for serving
- 1/2 cup (70g) finely chopped onion (1 small)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
- 2 ¼ cups (530ml) water, vegetable broth, or chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, see notes
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 cup (30g) roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
