Chipotle Cilantro Rice

Chipotle Cilantro Rice

Serves 4

You can find plenty of copycat recipes of Chipotle's rice. This is one of them. The Mr. LOVES rice and LOVES Chipotle, and, thankfully, this pleased his tastebuds. In his words, it was "gold," and I think he was just as excited about the prospect of adding some soy sauce to the next-day leftovers.

1 c. long-grain rice

2 c. water

4 t. vegetable oil

3 T. fresh cilantro

1/2 lime, juice of

In a small saucepan, heat rice, water, 1 t. oil, and salt until boiling. Boil on high until most of the water evaporates. When water skims the top of the rice (you may have to remove from heat momentarily to see if this is happening), reduce to low and cover about 15 minutes. Shut off flame and let sit for an additional 5 minutes.

Mix cilantro, lime, and 3 t. oil in with rice and serve.
