cilantro & lime rice


(connor couldn't wait until we were done praying to dig in! )

This is chipotle style rice! YUM! We had our first 'chipotle' dinner in amsterdam tonight.... sort of a practice run, we'll be sure to have the nashes over for round two.... 

-Sorry I don't have the perfect measurements.... butter here is sold in big tabs so i'm not sure how much i used, but I'd say about a 1 inch cube.
- small handful of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1- 1/3 cups basmati rice
- 2 cups water
- tsp salt
- juice of two limes

melt butter in pot/pan, add rice and cook a minute or two. 
add lime juice, then water and salt and bring to a boil.
reduce heat and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed (about 15-20 min).
stir in chopped cilantro and serve warm!!!
