Cilantro Lime Rice

I love wild rice, but it's not the easiest to find and it sure isn't the cheapest either. I came across a mix from Bob's Red Mill at a place called Big Lots, that has both wild and brown rice in it and it's perfect for any kind of rice pilaf. I like to use this mix and throw it in my rice cooker. This recipe, you can use white or brown or a mix if you have it and you can put it in a rice cooker or cook it on the stove according to the instructions on the package. It's a fairly simple recipe.

All you need is:

Rice - whatever kind you want
Fresh cilantro - chopped
Salt
Limes or lime juice ( I keep a bottle of lime juice in the fridge)
Oil - whichever kind you use: olive, canola, vegetable

Cook the rice like you normally do, but add a teaspoon or so of oil. While rice is cooking, chop up the cilantro and squeeze the juice from the limes, if you're using fresh and set aside. The amount you need is all based on how much rice you're cooking and if you prefer your rice with extra cilantro or more sour or more salty. On average for two cups uncooked rice, I use 1 bunch of cilantro 1-2 limes and maybe a half to a teaspoon of salt. When cooking, it's always best to try your food as you go, tasting for the right amount of each ingredient. When the rice is done, add cilantro, salt and lime juice, little at a time, mixing and tasting in between because you can always add more on something, but you can't take it out. Taste it. If it looks or tastes too dry, you can always add a tad more oil, just enough to coat all the rice. And there ya go, cilantro lime rice.
