BASMATI****Cilantro Lime Rice

By Unblond1

29/10/13 - Great for both and easy enough to throw together on a week night. We had it with Ginger-Poached Salmon with Teriyaki Drizzle but it should go equally well with something Mexican.
26/01/17 - UPDATE - served it with Taco Spice ActiFry chicken cubes - vvg again (Dan doesn't like the cilantro so add it to your rice only)

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (if serving with Asian) or olive or avocado oil (if serving with Mexican)
• pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1/2 rice-cooker cup (6 tablespoons) basmati or jasmine rice
• juice and zest of 1 lime
• required amount of chicken broth
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 Tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
