Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • cup cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper
  • 1 lime
  • ½ onion white or red
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve over the sink until it runs clear.
  • Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Heat a wide, deep skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When it's hot cook the onions and garlic and add the salt and red pepper.
  • Stir in the rice and broth in the skillet. Bring the rice to a boil, then turn it down to a simmer and cover. Cook over medium-low heat until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  • Stir thoroughly and remove from the heat.
  • Chop up the cilantro and mix into the rice. Squeeze the rice with lime juice and stir. Transfer to meal prep containers, or use immediately.
