Lime rice served

Lime Rice

Lime rice is a fresh and fragrant side dish, particularly popular in Mexican and Asian cuisine. The acidity of the lime pleasantly refreshes the flavor of the rice, while the cilantro adds a slight spiciness and green freshness. Imagine the freshly squeezed lime juice gently permeating the warm rice, while the aroma of grated lime zest and cilantro fills the kitchen. This simple yet special side dish is perfect for fish dishes, grilled chicken, or spicy Asian dishes.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. This helps the grains stay fluffy and separate.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the rinsed rice. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until slightly translucent.

    3

    Pour in the water, add salt and black pepper, then stir once. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the water.

    4

    Once the rice is cooked, remove from the heat and let it rest, covered, for another 10 minutes. This helps the grains to fully soften.

    5

    Drizzle the cooked rice with freshly squeezed lime juice, then sprinkle with grated lime zest and finely chopped fresh cilantro.

    6

    Before serving, gently fluff the rice with a fork to make it light and airy.
