2 ¼ cups water
1 tbsp olive oil
¾ tsp kosher salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 tsp lime zest (from about 1 lime)
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
½ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 tsp unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

1
Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water, stirring with your hand, until the water runs mostly clear, about 30 seconds. Drain well.
2
Combine the rinsed rice, water, olive oil, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
