Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups white rice
About 2 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste

  • Turn off the heat and let stand for a few minutes. Gently stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil. The sides and bottom of the pan will be covered with a crust of browned rice, the con con Scrape off the browned bits and serve separately.
