Preparation

Step 1

In a small heavy pot, add rice, water, 1 tsp oil and salt. Boil on high until most of the water evaporates. When the water just skims the top of the rice, reduce to low and cover about 15 minutes. Shut off flame and keep covered an additional 5 minute.

In a medium bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, rice and remaining oil and toss until completely mixed.

Notes:
I am a huge fan of the rice at Chipotle's. Here is my copycat version, it tastes just like the real thing. Makes a wonderful side dish for chicken, beef or pork.
