Happy Mother's Day to not only my mom but to all of my awesome friends who are moms! I am truly amazed by how much you do on a daily basis. =)
This week's recipe is going to be a two part recipe but cilantro wild rice is a key ingredient so I wanted to post this recipe first. Cilantro rice is one of my personal favorites and it's great with just about any meal. It can be used as a side dish, a main dish, with Mexican, or burgers...the possibilities are endless with this tasty concoction! Try it at home and let us know your favorite way to pair it.
Ingredients:
1 & 1/2 cup wild rice (you can use any kind of rice you would like)
3 cups (24 oz) warm water
3 TBSP cilantro diced and blended
1 TBSP EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt to taste
Directions:
1. Chop and blend 3 TBSP cilantro.
2. Place cilantro in a small bowl, add EVOO, and mix. Let the mixture sit overnight.
3. Wash and soak wild rice for at least 30 minutes (the longer you let the rice soak, the quicker it will cook).
4. Place rice and water in a rice cooker (or pot), add cilantro mixture, salt, & lime juice.
5. Cook until rice is tender and all of the water has evaporated. If you used a rice cooker, just mix the ingredients and let the cooker do the rest.
6. Enjoy!
Serves 4-5
