Step 1

In small saucepan or microwave oven, heat broth or water until steaming.

Step 2

Stir in about 3/4 teaspoon salt if using salted broth, 1 1/2 teaspoons if using unsalted broth or water.

Step 3

Cover and keep warm.

Step 4

In medium (3-quart) saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium heat.

Step 5

When hot, add raw rice and onion and stir regularly until grains have turned from translucent to milky-white, 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Add garlic and stir for a few seconds, until fragrant. Do not let grains brown.

Step 7

Add the warm liquid and lime juice, stir thoroughly, scraping down any grains that are clinging to the side of the pan.

Step 8

Cover and cook over the lowest heat for 15 minutes--temperature should be low enough that only the slightest hint of steam escapes lid.

Step 9

Remove pan from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Uncover and test a grain of rice: if still a little hard, re-cover pan and set over low heat for about 5 min.; if rice has absorbed all liquid and is completely dry, sprinkle on 2 tablespoons water before returning to heat.

Step 11

When rice is done, sprinkle on parsley and gently fluff with fork to release steam and stop the cooking.
