Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice rinsed
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic in their skins
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 limes juiced
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Add the rice, water, salt, and garlic cloves to a pot. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit with the lid on for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the garlic from the rice. Squeeze the garlic out of the skin.
- Add the butter to the rice. Stir until the butter has melted.
- Add the cilantro and lime juice. Mix and serve.
Notes
- Rinse the rice before you boil it; this will remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
- For a milder, sweeter garlic, consider roasting the cloves by putting them in foil with a little olive oil and warming them in the oven. Then add them to the rice, either minced or whole.
- For more citrus, add lime zest to the rice.
