Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook and stir for 4 minutes until slightly translucent.
- Add the rice to the onions and toast for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour the broth and lime juice into the rice mixture. Let it come to boil over medium-high heat. Once it has boiled for 1 minute, reduce heat to low and cover the pan with a lid.
- Let the rice cook and simmer for 20 minutes without stirring. Turn off the stove and let the pan sit for 5 minutes so that all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff rice with a fork and sprinkle with lime zest and cilantro before serving.
