Cilantro Lime Brown Rice
Description
The recipe begins by boiling jasmine brown rice in salted water until tender, which can take 25 to 30 minutes. After draining, the rice is allowed to cool slightly and then fluffed to separate the grains. Fresh cilantro and lime zest and juice are combined with olive oil and salt to season the rice, providing a refreshing blend of citrus and herb flavors. This combination complements the natural texture of brown rice, which tends to be slightly chewy and nutty.
This cilantro lime rice pairs well with grilled meats, beans, or vegetables and can be served warm or at room temperature. Its bright and slightly tangy profile makes it a suitable side for Latin American or Southwestern dishes.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups jasmine rice brown, 270g
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- 2 Tbsp olive oil 30g
- 1/2 tsp salt more to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice and a few shakes of salt. Boil for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender. Add more water as needed to continue cooking rice. Reduce heat as needed to prevent the water from flowing over.
- Drain the rice and return it to the pot. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Then fluff with a fork.
- Mix in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil and salt. Taste and add more salt, lime juice or cilantro as needed to taste.
