Sastojci

2 cups water

Salt to taste

1 cup extra long grain rice

2 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon fresh lime zest

¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro

1 small serrano (minced (optional, for spicy)

1 teaspoon vegetable oil (I love extra virgin olive oil)

Upute

Boil

Add the water with salt to taste to a pot and bring to a boil.

Rice

Stir in the rice. Bring the rice to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer.

Simmer

Cook, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice absorbs all of the liquid. Do not stir while cooking. If the rice gets too dry, add a few tablespoons of extra water.

Cool

Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

Fluff with a fork and stir in lime juice, lime zest, chopped cilantro, serrano (if using), and oil.

Serve and enjoy.
