Lime Cilantro Rice

This is a great side dish. It goes very nicely with the Pork Roast that makes Sweet Pork Burritos. I forget how easy it is to find cilantro in Japan. If it's difficult, let me know and I'll remove the "Japan Friendly" label.

Lime Cilantro Rice


4 cups water
2 cups white rice (not instant)
4 T. lime juice
4 t chicken bouillon (or 4-5 bouillon cubes)
1/2 onion
4 t garlic –minced
½ bunch cilantro
1 can green chiles—or equivalent fresh
¾ t salt
1 T butter
1/2 t. cumin

Directions:

In a blender, combine onion, garlic, cilantro and green chiles. In a large pot, bring water, lime juice, bouillon, salt, butter and cumin to a boil. Sir in rice and blended cilantro mixture. Simmer covered for 30 minutes.

Goes well with green sauce and sweet pork burritos.
