• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups basmati rice (buy it on Amazon)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 1/4 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• zest of one lime
• 3 Tablespoons lime juice
• 1 cup cilantro, roughly chopped

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium high heat. Add the uncooked rice and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice has started to brown. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add water, salt, and lime zest to the rice. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover and lower the heat to low to maintain a very low simmer.

Cook undisturbed for 15 minutes, then remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and then add the lime juice and cilantro. Stir gently to combine and enjoy!
