By nnlester

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups basmati rice
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 cups GF chicken or GF veggie stock
• Juice of 3 limes
• Zest of 2 limes
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet sauté onion and garlic in oil until tender over medium-low heat.
Reduce temperature to low and add rice and salt, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. This will add a nice toasted flavor to the rice.
Add stock and lime juice and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until rice is tender, adding more liquid as needed.
Just before serving, stir in the zest and cilantro.
