chipotle brown rice recipe

Copy Cat: Cilantro Lime Brown Rice


  • Author: Sandra

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups brown rice, uncooked

4 cups water or (~1/4 cup lime juice)

1 lime

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped unpacked

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon garlic, minced


Instructions

  1. In a medium sized pot, on medium/high heat, bring 2 cups of brown rice and 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Then, reduce heat to low and cover for about 35 minutes or until all of the water is evaporated.
  2. Transfer brown rice to a medium sized bowl and let cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  3. Once the rice has cooled a little bit, cut a lime in half and squeeze lime juice onto rice. Do this with both sides of the lime and mix.
  4. Then, chop fresh cilantro. Add about 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro to your rice. (I just grabbed a handful and that worked perfectly.)
  5. Next, add in 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of sea salt and MIX.
  6.  Serve warm.
