Description

Cilantro lime rice is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that pairs well with many different meals. This recipe is made in an Instant Pot, which makes the process even simpler and faster.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Bowl
  • Fork

Method

  1. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer and drain well.
  2. Add the rice, water, salt, and olive oil to the Instant Pot and stir to combine.
  3. Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
  4. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then use the quick release method to release any remaining pressure.
  5. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the cilantro and lime juice.
  6. Transfer the rice to a serving bowl and garnish with additional cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • You can use brown rice instead of white rice, but the cooking time will be longer.
  • For a spicier version, add a diced jalapeño pepper before cooking.
  • Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to rinse the rice well before cooking to remove excess starch.
  • Stirring in the cilantro and lime juice after cooking helps to preserve their fresh flavors.
  • If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can still make this recipe on the stovetop. Combine the rice, water, salt, and olive oil in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork and stir in the cilantro and lime juice.
