Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 cup basmati rice (uncooked)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (reduced-sodium)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (fresh, minced)

Instruction

  • Rinse the rice well underneath cold, running water until it runs clear. This removes the excess starch molecules from the outside of the rice.
  • Place the rice, chicken broth, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture up to a boil over medium-high heat
  • Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
  • Allow the rice to sit, undisturbed, for 10 minutes before stirring.
  • Once the rice has rested, add the nutmeg, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. Fluff the mixture with a fork.
  • Serve immediately.
