I love cilantro in rice - It really freshens it up and is a lovely side dish for so many different types of main meal. I love it with curries.

i love cilantro but i've never been a fan of rice. in fact, i'd probably avoid it completely except when it's served like this!

I LOVE LOVE cilantro!! I put cilantro in my steaming hot chicken soup with some lime juice, it's invigorating!
I've made this cilantro rice similar to your recipe but I add 1 juiced lime and zest of lime into it and add some more cilantro into rice after it's been cooked. Yummm!!
