Tips & Serving Suggestions
- Rice type: Long-grain white rice yields the best texture for this dish, but you can also use basmati for a slightly more aromatic result. Avoid short-grain or sticky rice varieties.
- Make it richer: Substitute part of the water with low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth for added depth of flavour.
- Add zest: For a more pronounced lime flavour, stir in ½ tsp of fresh lime zest along with the juice.
- Storage: Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
- Pairing ideas: Serve with grilled chicken, shrimp tacos, black beans, or as the base of a burrito bowl topped with vegetables and your favourite protein.
Fresh, tangy, and simple, this Cilantro Lime Rice is a go-to side that elevates any meal with minimal effort.
