Step 1

Rinse. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Set aside.

Step 2

Saute and toast. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the rice and salt, and stir the rice for a minute, lightly toasting it.

Step 3

Simmer. Add the water, bring it to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove the pot from heat (keep it covered) and let it steam for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add flavor. Add the lime juice, lime zest, and chopped cilantro. Stir everything together and serve immediately!
