This is from Ingrid Hoffman's Dimply Delicioso cookbook. Because you're using leftover cooked rice, its a really quick side dish to make. It looks beautiful and would be great for company. The cilantro flavor in the rice is so unexpected and is just the thing for a mexican menu.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked long-grain rice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat your broiler to high.
2. Microwave the cooked rice on high until warmed through.
3. Place rice in a heat-proof casserole or baking dish and toss with butter, cilantro, parsley, lime zest and parmesan cheese.
4. Place dish under the broiler until the top is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Watch carefully, ovens vary.
5. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
