Cilantro Lime Rice


Another Cafe Rio Copycat!

Cilantro Lime Rice
5 3/4 cup water
3 cups rice, uncooked
1 Tbsp. butter
4 tsp. chicken boullion
4 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 small can diced green chilis
3/4 tsp. salt
juice of 2 limes
    In a blender add 1 cup of the water, chicken boullion, garlic, cilantro, chilis, salt and lime juice.  Blend on high until the cilantro is finely chopped and the ingredients are mixed together really well.  Add the rice, remaining water, butter and mixture from the blender to your rice cooker and turn it on.  If you are not using a rice cooker then put all the ingredients into a large pot with a lid.  Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender. Do not lift the lid while cooking.
