Instructions
For the Cilantro Lime Rice
- In a medium pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium high heat. Add onion, garlic and jalapeños and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add rice, broth, lime juice, salt and 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. If using instant rice, cook for 5 minutes, then turn off heat and let stand for 5, and fluff with a fork. Add 1 tablespoon butter, remaining fresh cilantro and the zest of a lime.
