Orange Cilantro Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil, then stir in the onion powder and cilantro stems until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the rice and stir until oil-slicked, just a few seconds.
• Add 1 1/2 cups water, raise the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan and cook until all of the water is absorbed, 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, to steam for 10 more minutes.
• Fold in the salt, cilantro leaves, jalapeño and lime juice. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and lime juice as desired.

Steps:

• Spray medium saucepan with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot.
• Saute onions until tender, 3-5 minutes.
• Add rice and orange zest to saucepan; cook over medium heat until rice is lightly browned, 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add water to saucepan and heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Stir in cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the rice and salt. Cook over a low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to make sure the rice doesn't burn. Add 2 cups of the broth and the juice and zest of 2 limes and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the rice is done. Add more liquid as needed. The rice shouldn't be sticky.
• Just before serving, stir through the juice of 1 lime and lots of chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Sauté rice in frying pan over med high heat for 3 minutes stirring constantly.
• Add veggies and continue to sauté until rice begins to brown and veggies soften, stirring very often. 3-5 minutes or so.

• Pour water into pan with rice and veggies and allow to come to a boil.
• Toss in cilantro, stir and cover tightly.
• Lower heat to simmer and keep covered for 15 minutes exactly. DO NOT lift lid during the 15 minutes- the steam is needed to properly cook the rice.
