Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice
Description
Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice uses un-rinsed long grain white or jasmine rice cooked under pressure with water, olive oil, and kosher salt. The pressure cooking method delivers evenly cooked, tender grains without needing to watch the stove. After a natural pressure release to finish cooking gently, the rice is fluffed and mixed with freshly chopped cilantro and lime juice blended with additional olive oil.
The combined cilantro and lime add brightness and fresh herbaceous flavors, balancing the rice’s mild base. The texture is light and fluffy, with the oil helping coat grains for slight gloss and flavor. This rice pairs well with a variety of dishes, especially those with southwestern or Mexican inspirations.
For brown rice, the recipe adjusts cook time to 23 minutes with natural release to ensure proper texture.
