How to Make Copycat Costa Vida Green Rice

1. Finely chop 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/4 cup red onion. Sauté in 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until softened.
2. Add 1 cup long-grain white rice and stir constantly for 1 minute to coat the grains with oil.
3. Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for richer flavor), 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a rapid boil.
4. Reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Resist the urge to stir!
5. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
