Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Chop onion and garlic small. In a food processor, chop cilantro (I remove stems). Set aside.
  2. In a 4 cup measurer squeeze lime so that all of the juice is extracted. Fill the container with water until it equals 4 cups. (you only want 4 cups liquid total). Place liquid in a sauce pan, add boulion and bring to a boil.
  3. When liquid comes to a boil, add onion, cilantro and rice. Cover and cook 20 minutes, or as long as instructed on the rice package.
  4. If you can't find a large lime you may want to do 1 1/2 limes. I tried 2 limes and it was too much.
