Ingredients

Ingredients:

¼ cup oil

2 cups brown or white rice

½ cup onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

4½ cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped

¼ to ½ cup lime juice (optional)

Directions

Wash hands well with warm soapy water. Wash produce thoroughly.

In a large skillet or pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add rice, stir frequently and toast it until slightly golden.

Add onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant and onion is clear.

Add broth and cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover and cook until rice is fluffy and all the broth has been absorbed, about 35-40 minutes.

If using lime juice drizzle some on top of the cooked rice and toss to mix. Serve warm as accompaniment to a main dish or on its own.
