Ingredients
- 2 cups long-grain rice (I prefer basmati, rinsed)
- 1ΒΎ cups water (for cooking)
- Β½ teaspoon salt
- 1 bay leaf
- ΒΌ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- Β½ lemon (juiced)
Method
- Add the rice to a bowl, cover with water and let it soak for 15 minutes. In a colander rinse the rice under running water until it runs clear.
- Add the rice to a saucepan, cover with water, season with salt and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to the lowest setting possible, cover and cook for 15 minutes. No peeking!
- Remove from heat, remove the lid, and fluff with a fork.
- Stir in cilantro, lime and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.
