This recipe is supposed to be a taste-alike – it’s supposed to be comparable to Chipotle’s Basmati Rice. I’ve not tried the Chipotle version, but this one’s pretty darn good!
2/3 C basmati rice
2 tsp fresh cilantro
1 lime
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vegetable oil (May substitute butter)
1 C water
In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil or butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Add rice and lime juice, stir for 1 minute. Add water and salt, bring to a full rolling boil. At boiling, cover, turn down to simmer over low heat until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.
serve me pls...am waiting :)
ReplyDeleteI like Chipotle's anything so I must try this!
ReplyDeleteNice they have great rice.
ReplyDeleteWe just had some basmati rice again the other week and now I want some more. I figure people would think I'm crazy just ordering rice. =p
ReplyDeleteI like Chipotle's rice, so I might have to give this a try. They just recently started offering brown rice...I want to try their version of that!
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I'm guessing you're supposed to use the juice of one whole lime? I'll have to try it; I'm always looking for new ways to jazz up rice.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that.
