Preparation

Step 1

INSTRUCTIONS
Add rice to a fine mesh strainer and thoroughly rinse with water. Set aside.

In a medium stockpot bring the water and salt to a low boil. Add the rice, zest of one lime and lime juice to the pot. Return to a low boil. Cover pot and reduce heat to low. Simmer rice covered for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and allow the pot to rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Allow rice to cool for approximately 5 minutes before adding additional lime zest (if desired) and fresh chopped cilantro. Season to taste.
