Cilantro Lime Rice (Rice Cooker)
Cilantro Lime Rice (Rice Cooker)
I am always looking for ways to change up rice. This is a great side dish with chicken or fish. I made this on 5 Dec 2017, and it is perfect, very well liked by the family as well. I use a simple Cook and Warm rice cooker for this.
Equipment
- Rice Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry rice, white or brown is fine
- 2 cups water
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 juice from 1 lime, about 2 tablespoons
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ bunch cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
- Add the garlic, rinsed rice, and water to your rice cooker, then set to Cook. After it has finished cooking and switches to Warm, fluff with a fork.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, oil, and salt. Drizzle over the fluffed rice and add the cilantro, mix together until the cilantro and dressing is evenly distributed.
- Serve as a side with chicken or fish, a topping in a taco, in a burrito, many options.
Aaaand I just commented on the green rice recipe you posted, but I saw this, too! I forgot to mention in my previous comment that our arroz verde has poblano chile in it, which is not hot, but adds to green color of rice (I usually purée the green ingredients).
Cilantro lime rice is lighter and brighter in taste because of the lime, and my husband is a huge fan. Thanks for the rice cooker recipe – we will need to try it this way!
Thanks for visiting and commenting, H., let me know how you like this version using a rice cooker. I will also add the poblano chili to the arroz verde recipe as well.
