Cilantro is one of those flavors people either love or hate. I happen to love it and I can’t cook without it. I hope you like cilantro, so you can enjoy today’s delicious recipe.
My readers have been requesting more recipes for side dishes, so today I am sharing a simple rice recipe that has huge flavor and a beautiful color. This Arroz con Cilantro is very convenient for those last-minute meals and goes well with fish, poultry, beef, pork or even beans. I really loved the flavors of this rice!
Buen provecho!
Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped white onions
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
- Place 1/2 cup of the chicken broth with the cilantro and cumin in the blender. Blend until well combined and set aside. Heat the butter over medium temperature in a medium pot.
- Add the onions and garlic, and cook until the onions are soft for about 2 minutes.
- Add the rice and stir it well, add the cilantro mixture and the rest of the broth and bring it to a boil.

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!!
