This bright coconut lime rice recipe is a simple way to jazz up rice! It's creamy, bursting with lime and cilantro and coconut flavor, and is really easy to make.

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice (see note)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk (I prefer full fat)
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice + zest of 1 lime
  • 1 handful cilantro (chopped )
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Add the rice to a sieve and rinse under cool water until the water runs (mostly) clear.
  2. 2Add the coconut milk and chicken broth to a medium saucepan over high heat. Stir until smooth. Once boiling, stir in the rice and then cover the pan. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. 3Turn the heat off and let the pan sit (keep it covered and don't open it!) for another 15 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, and then stir in the lime juice, zest, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt & pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
