Addictive Cilantro Rice

Published on Friday, September 29, 2006, by C. Thi Nguyen / Edit Post

Robert Lauriston says his wife’s cilantro rice is simply addictive, and megek raves that it’s fantastic–“tangy and spicy and flavorful.” You can use whatever kind of rice you like.

Cook rice using your preferred method, using 1 tsp. salt per cup of rice. For each cup of rice you cook, puree the following in a blender and stir well into the rice once it’s done:

2/3 cup cilantro, loosely packed
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1 jalapeno (or to taste)
1 Tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. olive oil

    Thank you for a great recipe. I was intrigued by the idea of cilantro rice, but had never cooked it, so I made it for dinner tonight, and it was great! I didn't puree the ingredients, just finely chopped. Also, I cooked the rice the same way I would cook Mexican fried rice. I sauteed the rice in a little oil, then added onions. When the onions were tender I added the remaining ingredients. Another addition I made was adding 1 teaspoon of lime rind, and a pinch of cumin. Awesome!

    By the way, I used some of the stems on my cilantro.-COLLAPSE
