Cilantro Lime Rice

 Perfect base for the Burrito Bowls.

2 cups long grain white rice

3-4 T fresh lime juice

1 cup finely chopped cilantro

3 cups water

2 T olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt

Red pepper flakes (optional)

1. Add the rice, garlic and olive oil to a large pot and toast for 3-4 minutes.

2. Add water and salt. Stir to mix. Bring to a boil.

3. Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and let finish cooking uncovered for 5 minutes so it does not get mushy.

4. When all liquid is absorbed, turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in the finely chopped cilantro, lime juice and red pepper flakes (if using).
