Ingredients

• 2 cups brown rice, uncooked
• 4 cups water or (1/4 cup lime juice)
• 1 lime
• ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped unpacked
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Directions

• In a medium sized pot, on medium/high heat, bring 2 cups of brown rice and 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Then, reduce heat to low and cover for about 35 minutes or until all of the water is evaporated.
• Transfer brown rice to a medium sized bowl and let cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
• Once the rice has cooled a little bit, cut a lime in half and squeeze lime juice onto rice. Do this with both sides of the lime and mix.
• Then, chop fresh cilantro. Add about ½ cup of chopped cilantro to your rice. (I just grabbed a handful and that worked perfectly.)
• Next, add in 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of sea salt and MIX.
• Serve warm.
