Garlic Cilantro Brown Rice
Brown rice is a staple in my home and I find myself making it at least once a week for side dishes and quick grain salads. But after awhile, plain brown rice can get boring and that's where this recipe comes into play. It's amazing how much a little garlic, fresh cilantro, and citrus juice can...

Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.Add the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.Add the water or broth and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer and cover.Cook for around 35 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in cilantro and lemon/lime juice if using. Season with salt and pepper.I normally get around 4 cups of cooked rice per 1 cup dry rice but this can vary depending on the rice you use.
