Cilantro & Lime Rice

Enjoying some nice weather in PDX these days. 70's-80's. Now that I'm away from the Midwest I think I would melt if I had to endure a whole summer of 100+ degrees.

Anyway, we had this a few weeks back and I thought I would share!

It's pretty easy - you can't mess it up!

1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic (or just take a bit from a jar of pre-minced stuff if you are lazy like me)
juice of one small lime
small bunch of cilantro (rinsed and chop off all the long stemmy parts)

Toss this all in a food processor - mine's a mini version which actually worked perfectly. Blend it up enough that the cilantro is in small enough bits that you wouldnt mind eating (up to your preference really). Set to the side.











Meanwhile steam up 2 cups of rice. We have a handy rice cooker that we use all the time. Combined with rice from the Asian market you get rice with that perfect sticky texture.

Once rice "ready" pour in the lime/cilantro mixture and mix into the rice with a fork, trying to get everything combined evenly. And that's it! Perfect side for grilled chicken/veggies - or in our case, filling for burritos!
