All the flavors of your favorite restaurant, in a healthy, whole grain version. Lime and cilantro come together with fluffy brown rice for a side dish that can't be beat in this cilantro lime rice dish.
Fluffy, brown rice. There's nothing quite like it. It's got a nutty flavor, a hearty texture, and can go with just about any flavor you add to it. Cilantro has that unique flavor that you either love or hate. Some say it tastes like soap to them, and others can't get enough of it. Did you know that if you think it tastes like soap, that is actually genetic? According to Britannica,
or those cilantro-haters for whom the plant tastes like soap, the issue is genetic. These people have a variation in a group of olfactory-receptor genes that allows them to strongly perceive the soapy-flavored aldehydes in cilantro leaves.For the rest of us, there are about a million ways to incorporate cilantro into your dishes. I love mixing it with lime, as they are the perfect partners in culinary cuisine. Sweet, tangy, and bright flavors combine in a masterpiece. Well, in my mind, anyway.

It's often that white rice is used in this recipe. However, I prefer the nutty flavor of brown rice myself. If you want to use white rice, feel free to do so. The cooking time will be lessened to 12 minutes.What kind of brown rice should I use?
While there are many kinds of brown rice, the most common in the grocery store are quick cook, long grain, and short grain brown rice. For this recipe, I used long grain brown rice. If you only find short grain, it'll cook the same and the end result will taste the same.
