Instructions
- Rinse the rice and drain the water. I like running it through a fine mesh sieve or you can wash the rice in the pot.
- Heat olive oil up in a small pot with olive oil on medium heat and lightly toast the rice, stirring it for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the garlic, bay leaves, and lime zest and stir for another minutes.
- Add the water into the pot and bring the pot of rice up to a boil before lower the heat to a simmer.
- Allow the rice to simmer for 15 minutes with the lid on and then remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes, still covered.
- Fluff with a fork and stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
Notes
- Recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
