4 servings
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
- 2 ¼ cups water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp lime zest (from about 1 lime)
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit citrus peel because it adds fiber and residue. The small amount of lime zest here contributes very little, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid lime peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lime juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lime juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tsp unsalted butter (optional)
Ingredient noteButter is almost all fat and has no fiber, so the small amount here (about 1/4 teaspoon per serving) leaves very little residue. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
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.
