Got the recipe from Allrecipes.com. This was great with my BBQ pork ribs. The sweetness of the ribs really go well with the sourness of this rice.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Directions
- Bring the water to a boil; stir the butter and rice into the water. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir the lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro into the cooked rice just before serving.
I copy and pasted this from Allrecipes.com, I changed the recipe to my liking. I added just a little lime juice at a time because I did not want it to be too sour and I only zested one lime. Must use fresh lime juice, I made the mistake of using concentrated lime juice once and it smelled like bathroom cleaners. Had to toss the rice away because I could not stomach it.
I am making this tonight and wont be using lime zest! Cross fingers for me!
