Gluten-Free Cilantro Lime Rice

Ingredients

White rice

1 cup, rinsed

Water

2 cups

Salt

1/2 teaspoon (or to taste)

Lime juice

2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Fresh cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Instructions

1. Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
4. After cooking, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to firm up.
5. Fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.
6. Stir in the chopped cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, and salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice as desired.
8. Serve the gluten-free cilantro lime rice warm as a side dish alongside your favorite Mexican or Asian dishes.
