chipotle's basmati rice

I LOVE Chipotle's... especially their rice in my burrito bowl! I went online looking for an awesome recipe that would compare to Chipotle's. Imagine my surprise when I found the ACTUAL recipe from Chipotle's executive itself! Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter

2 tsp. fresh cilantro

2/3 cup white basmati rice

1 cup water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 lime

In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil or butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Add rice and lime juice, stir for 1 minute. Add water and salt, bring to a full rolling boil. At boiling, cover, turn down to simmer over low heat until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.

Add cilantro after fluffing rice.

Amy's Notes: The first time I tried this recipe, I didn't have basmati rice. It turned out good ... but not as good as basmati when I finally did buy it! Also, watch the time as usually my rice didn't need a full 25 minutes! The basic recipe above makes a small portion. You might need to double or triple for a regular sized family!
