Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice uncooked
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/3 cup cilantro leaves chopped
- cilantro sprigs and lime wedges for garnish optional
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Add the garlic and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the cumin, water, salt and pepper. Bring the pot to a boil.
- Cover the pot and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender.
- Uncover the pot, then stir in the lime juice and cilantro. Fluff the rice with a fork.
- Garnish with cilantro sprigs and lime wedges if desired, then serve.
Notes
- Long grain rice works best for this dish. You can use standard long grain rice, or Basmati rice.
- This rice will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days which makes it great for meal prep. Reheat leftover rice on the stove top or in the microwave.
