    Ingredients
     

    • 1 cup long grain rice
    • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped white onions
    • 1 garlic clove minced
    • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
    • Salt to taste
    • 2 tablespoons butter

    Instructions
     

    • Place ½ 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.
    • Let the liquid reduce until it barely covers the rice, cover with a lid, reduce the temperature to low, and cook for about 20-25 min.

      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!!

      Hola Erica! I just finished making the cilantro rice and it is awesome! I used it as a side for my sopa de pollo y fideo, which also came out great. Thank you!
