Cook rice

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and has absorbed the water, about 15-20 minutes.

Prepare cilantro and lime

While the rice cooks, finely chop the cilantro leaves and stems. Zest and juice the limes.

Fluff rice

When the rice is done, remove the saucepan from heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.

Add ingredients to rice

Add the chopped cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, and salt to the rice. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

6

Transfer the cilantro rice to a serving bowl and serve hot as a side dish.
