Directions: 
  • Brown the rice: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan on medium high heat. Add the raw rice and stir to coat with the olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice has started to brown.
  • Add the garlic and cook a minute more.
  • Add water (stock), salt, zest, to the rice. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover and lower the heat to low to maintain a very low simmer.
  • Cook undisturbed for 15 minutes (check your rice package instructions), then remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork. Pour lime juice over the rice and toss with chopped cilantro.
 Transfer rice to a serving bowl.
