PERFECT CILANTRO LIME RICE



Perfect Cilantro Lime Rice image

How to make delicious and flavorful cilantro lime rice that tastes even better than your favorite restaurants! Stock or broth substituted for the water adds additional flavor. We love using chicken or vegetable stock. If you do use stock, take care to add salt to taste since the stock may already have some salt added.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 35m

Yield Makes about 5 1/4 cups rice

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups (280 grams) long grain white rice
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter, plus more for serving
1/2 cup (70 grams) finely minced onion (1 small)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 medium cloves)
2 1/4 cups (530 ml) water, vegetable stock or chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste, see notes
3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
1 cup (30 grams) roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well in a fine-mesh sieve and set aside. This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook up fluffy and light.
  • Heat a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, over medium heat. Add the oil or butter. When hot, add the rinsed rice and onion. Cook, stirring often, until the rice turns from translucent to a brighter white and the onion is soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring it around the pan until fragrant, but not browned, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the warm water or stock and stir, knocking any grains of rice that are stuck to the sides of the pan. Season with salt, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover with a lid. Cook, covered for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and leave alone (still covered) for 10 minutes. Uncover and test a grain of rice. If the rice is still a little hard, place the lid back onto the rice and place over low heat for another 5 minutes. If the rice looks too dry, scatter a tablespoon or two of extra water over the rice before placing back onto the heat.
  • When the rice is done, scatter the lime juice and cilantro on top. Use a fork to gently fluff the rice and incorporate the lime juice and cilantro into the rice. Serve.

CILANTRO RICE



Cilantro Rice image

Borrowing from the fresh flavors of arroz verde and reminiscent of Chipotle's cilantro-lime rice, this simple dish is a low-effort, high-reward accompaniment to all good things, such as pork chops and crispy tofu. Though diced fresh onion could season the rice, onion powder is a savory bedrock with its concentration of umami, especially once bloomed in oil. This aromatic dish plays to the strengths of the cilantro plant: The stems cook with the rice, lending their peppery brightness, and the tender leaves confetti the dish for a final viridescent flourish.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     grains and rice, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves separated, both finely chopped
1 cup long-grain white rice, such as jasmine or basmati
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
1 large jalapeño, thinly sliced
Juice of 1/2 lime, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil, then stir in the onion powder and cilantro stems until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the rice and stir until oil-slicked, just a few seconds.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups water, raise the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan and cook until all of the water is absorbed, 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, to steam for 10 more minutes.
  • Fold in the salt, cilantro leaves, jalapeño and lime juice. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and lime juice as desired.
