Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white basmati rice
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- juice of 1 to 2 small limes (divided)
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instruction
- In a saucepan over low-medium heat melt the butter. Add the rice and sugar. Mix briefly to coat the rice with the butter and sugar. Add half the lime juice and stir for 1 minute. Add water and salt.
- Bring the rice to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer until the rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle the rice with the cilantro, the rest of the lime juice, and more salt if needed. Fluff rice with a fork. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
