  • 1 cup white rice

  • 2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable stock

  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice

  • 1 clove garlic

  • ½ tsp. salt

  • 1 tsp. olive oil

  • splash of water

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and sauté uncooked rice until lightly browned. Add stock and salt to the rice and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a light simmer. Cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until all of the liquid is absorbed. 

Meanwhile, roughly chop the cilantro.

In a blender, add cilantro, lime juice and garlic clove, 1-2 Tbsp. water or olive oil, and blend everything together.

Add the cilantro mixture to the cooked rice and mix thoroughly. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
