Lime Rice

In a sauce pan, saute:
2 Tbsp. butter
1 yellow onion , chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced

In a large pot bring 5 cups water to a boil
Add:
the sauteed onions & garlic
4 tsp chicken bouillon
2 tsp cumin
1 cup chopped cilantro leaves
2 small cans diced green chilies
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp salt
(depending on the saltiness of your bouillon and your taste, you may not want to add any salt)

3 cups long grain rice

If you are using a rice dooker or pressure cooker decrease water to 3 cups.



Note I have found buying Cumin and other spices in the Mexican food section is alot cheaper.I found this 16oz. bag at Smart and Final for a fraction of the per oz. cost of it in jars in the regular spice section. I refill my Cumin spice jar and keep the extra in the freezer. I go through alot of cumin in Mexican cooking and chili.
