Cilantro Lime Rice

Cilantro Lime Rice

adapted from Food Network

I made this rice to be served with the Tequila Lime Chicken. I wanted the lime flavor to carry through the dish.

Makes 3 servings                                                     3 WW Blue points / servings

Cooking spray

1/2 cup white rice

1 strip lime peel

1/4 tsp. Kosher salt

1/2 tsp. lime zest

1 Tbsp. lime juice

2 tsp. dried cilantro

1 scallion, green part only, chopped

1. In a pot coated with cooking spray, toast  the rice until golden, about 1 minute.
2. Add the stock, water, lime peel, salt and cilantro and bring to a boil.
3. Cover; reduce heat to simmer and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
4. Let the rice stand for 5 minutes; stir in the lime zest and juice.
5. Serve topped with scallions.

Enjoy!
