I made this rice a couple of years ago and for some reason totally forgot about it.  I made it today to eat with jerk shrimp and roasted asparagus.  Scott liked it so much that he said he wanted to have the entire meal every week. So I won’t be forgetting about it again!

Cilantro Lime Rice

1 Tbsp. olive oil

2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

1 tsp. salt

Add the oil to a sauce pan and heat on low. Add the garlic and rice to the oil and saute for 2 minutes on medium heat stirring frequently.

Add the chicken broth, salt, lime juice and bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low for 15 minutes or according to rice package directions.

When the rice is done, add lime zest and chopped cilantro and stir to mix in. Serve immediately.
