If you chop the cilantro and squeeze the limes while the rice is cooking, this dish is very quick to make.
Makes about 4 cups of cooked rice
15 minutes preparation and cooking time
2 cups Basmati rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 2 limes)
Pour the rice into a strainer and run it under cold water to rinse it.
Heat the olive oil over low heat in a large stock pot. Add the rice and salt and stir to coat the rice with the oil. Add 3 cups of water and bring the water to a boil. Boil the rice for 1 minute, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff with a fork.
Add the lime juice and cilantro and stir.
