Cafe Rio Rice aka Cilantro Lime Rice

1 c. uncooked rice (long grain is best. I use brown rice)
1 tsp. olive oil (or butter)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 can (15 oz.) chicken broth
1/2 c. water
1 T. freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tsp. sugar
3 T. fresh chopped cilantro

In a saucepan combine rice, oil, garlic, 1 tsp. lime, chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low until rice is tender. (Time varies for brown/white rice.) Remove from heat. In a small bowl combine lime juice, sugar and cilantro. Pour over hot cooked rice and mix in as you fluff the rice.

**My notes:
I always make this in a rice cooker. I add the everything except the T. lime juice, sugar and cilantro and push a button to cook it. Then I add the other ingredients when its done (except not as much lime juice as is called for).

I always make this x5 or 6. We're big eaters in my family. :) But honestly, just one cup is not very much.

I have made it with less oil and it turned out fine. I have made it with no sugar and its turned out fine, so feel free to tweak as needed. I usually use lime juice bought at the store, as opposed to a fresh lime. And I never add a whole T. of lime juice at the end. I find the lime juice at the beginning gives it a strong enough flavor, and so I just add a dash at the end.

I also typically use bouillon as opposed to broth and use WAY less. I usually half the amount called for (and make up for it in water). It is still plenty flavorful and way less salty.

I love this rice. It makes every burrito taste better. :)
