Lime Rice

LIME RICE

Georgia

I use this one with Noah and Whitney’s Café Rio Burritos. I make the rice to go in the burritos, instead of just plain rice. I cheat and sauté and then throw everything in the rice maker. This makes more than you will need for one pan, so I freeze the other half, and use it the next time I make them.

 

In saucepan sauté:
1 Tbsp. Butter
½ yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

In large pot, bring following to boil:

3 1/3 c. water

4 tsp. chicken bouillon
¼ c. bunch cilantro, chopped (I skip this, cause I really don’t like cilantro)
1 tsp. cumin
1 small can diced green chilies
½ Tbsp. lime juice
¼ tsp. salt

Add sautéed onion and garlic to boiling water, then add 1 ½ c. long grain rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
