Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 T. butter
  • 1 t. salt
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped

Instructions

  • n a 1½- or 2-quart microwave safe bowl, combine the rice, water, butter and salt. Microwave uncovered on high for 18 minutes. Allow the rice to sit in the microwave another 2 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave using hot pads or oven mitts--it will be screaming hot.
