Lemon Cilantro Rice by Becca Larkin serves: 4	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

This tasty rice goes great with fish and I often serve seafood on a bed of this rice. I tend to have fresh cilantro on hand but you could also substitute parsley.

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp

Olive Oil

2 Cloves

Garlic, minced

4 Tbsp

Fresh Lemon Juice

1 cup

Long Grain White Rice

1 Tbsp

Butter

1 tsp

Sea Salt

1/4 cup

Fresh Cilantro, Finely Chopped

1 tsp

Lemon Peel, Finely Grated

1 3/4 cup

Water

Directions:

Add your olive oil and butter to a pot on medium low heat. Rinse your lemon and grate in lemon peel, add minced garlic and sea salt then stir. Let simmer on stove for 5 min then add your water and turn up the heat to bring your liquid to boil. Add your rice and stir. Reduce heat and cook according to the directions on your rice being sure to stir occasionally and make sure you don't over cook your rice. (My rice cooks for 15 mins, then remove from heat. Let stand covered for 5 minutes or under rice is absorbed.) Stir in cilantro serve warm.
