- 1 tsp Salt
- 1½ cup Water
- 1 Lime (You'll need both the juice and zest.)
- ½ cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a skillet, and add garlic.
- Cook for 2 minutes, and then add the rice and salt.
- Put the heat on low, and cook with stirring for 5 minutes so the rice doesn't stick to the bottom.
- Add in the water, the lime zest, and half the amount of the lime juice, put the lid on, and wait for it to boil. Put the heat on medium.
- When it starts boiling, turn the heat to low, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Since the rice shouldn't be sticky, add more water if needed.
