This rice recipe is almost a mandatory accompaniment to any of our family’s Mexican food dinner nights. Whether we’re making Taco Dinner Board, Sweet Potato Tacos, Vegan Meat Tacos, or Healthy White Bean Chicken Chili, a bowl of this fluffy rice is always on the table. 

The instructions for this rice cooking are very easy to follow and you’ll have a perfect side dish ready in less than 30 minutes! I also like to freeze it to have read ahead of time. 

Ingredients

• Rice - we are using basmati rice (long grain) and cooking it via the ''absorption method''. If you want to use another type of rice then the end result may not turn out as in the pictures.
• Cilantro - for the key flavor, use fresh cilantro, or switch to parsley or basil if you prefer.
• Lime - citrus brings a lively taste; you can use lime, lemon, or orange juice.
• Garlic - garlic enhances the dish's flavor and makes it stand out. You can add ½ cup of finely diced onion to the mix too!

How To Make Cilantro Lime Rice

Rinse the rice under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve until it runs clear. Drain well before cooking. Alternatively, soak the rice in a bowl of water for up to 30 minutes to reduce starch.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet and saute garlic until fragrant.

Add uncooked rinsed rice, season with salt and pepper, and toast for 2-3 minutes.

Pour in broth, reduce heat, add lime zest, and simmer with a lid for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from heat, add lime juice, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Fluff with a fork, stir in cilantro, and serve as a side dish or with various meals.

Serve warm as a side dish, in Buddha bowls, tacos, burritos, with fish and etc.

Does This Taste Like Chipotle Cilantro Rice?

It's a Chipotle-inspired recipe, but the addition of garlic gives this rice an extra burst of flavor.

Calories 151kcal

Author Julia | The Yummy Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 cup white basmati rice uncooked, properly rinsed
• 1-2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
• 1 large lime zested
• 2 teaspoons lime juice freshly squeezed
• 1 ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
• ⅛ teaspoon black ground pepper or use chili pepper mix for a little heat
• ¼ cup cilantro finely diced
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth or water
• olive oil for cooking

Instructions

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet and cook garlic.
• Add rice, season with salt and pepper, and toast for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour in broth, reduce heat, add lime zest, and simmer with a lid for 20-25 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add lime juice, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork, stir in cilantro, and serve as a side dish or with various meals.

Notes

Instead of garlic powder, you can use 1 fresh garlic clove, minced, and paste-like. But every garlic is different and if yours is way too strong use less or go for garlic powder.  Personally, I don't like fresh garlic taste with a simple dish as rice but it's a personal preference.  

For Extra flavor I like to add in a little Vegeta seasoning. This is a universal all-purpose seasoning blend (usually yellow), made from vegetables, herbs, and spices. But if this is not available where you are located, I'd recommend dry vegetable or chicken bouillon cube (bio/organic preferred).

My favorite way to use this rice is in Buddha Bowls and as a side with Sweet Potato and  Kale Tacos and Vegan Meat Tacos

I understand that not everyone is a coconut milk fan - instead of this, you can use my Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup recipe.

How To Make Vegetarian Casserole

Heat up coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped chunks of butternut squash and cook for 5-7 minutes stirring.

Add in broccoli florets, salt, and pepper to taste and cook until florets become slightly soft.

Stir in chickpeas, close the lid and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a 9x13 inch baking dish or 2 small ones, sprinkle pumpkin seeds all over, and set aside.

In the same pan, over medium heat, add a little bit of cooking or coconut oil, add in all the spices from the list and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes.

Stir in the coconut milk, and simmer for 3 minutes under a closed lid. When ready, pour the coconut sauce over the veggies and bake for 25 minutes at 390 F. 

Garnish with chopped parsley, more pumpkin seeds if desired and serve warm as a side dish or a wholesome veggie meal 🙂

What other vegetables go well with butternut squash?

If you don’t like or don’t have broccoli on hand these are a few of my suggestions that will go well with this pumpkin bake:

• Cauliflower
• Sweet potato
• Pumpkin
• Parsnips
• Mushrooms

If you love cabbage recipes, I have a delicious collection of 40+ Best Cabbage Recipes (featuring both green and red cabbage recipes).

Ingredients

• Cabbage. Young Green cabbage with softer leaves works best for this recipe. Alternatively, Napa cabbage or iceberg lettuce can also be used.
• Cucumbers. Use either Garden pickling cucumbers, English cucumbers, or Persian cucumbers. For pickling cucumbers, I prefer to peel the skins off as they can be bitter and hard to chew on, for English ones leave the skins on. 
• Dill. A staple ingredient in most Russian salads, stews, soups, and well, most of the dishes! A great alternative is to use green scallions, chives, or thinly diced or sliced white/brown onions. Parsley can also be used, however, reduce the amount to about half (instead ½ cup use about ¼ cup or less).
• Vinegar. My go-to is apple cider vinegar (6%). I am not a huge fan of white vinegar, but it really works well in here too, it adds a very nice zing to the salad. 

Instructions

Slice the cabbage thinly, preferably with a large and sharp knife. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using your hands stir and massage the cabbage to soften it and to make sure that all the seasoning is incorporated.

Cut the cucumbers into half-moon circles. Prepare dill and add to the bowl with sliced cabbage.

Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar.

Mix well and serve immediately or leave in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to chill and flavors to combine even more. 

Perfect to be served with creamy dinners like salmon casserole and baked ziti.

Tips

• Add ons - Add more texture to the salad by experimenting with other flavors such as diced bell peppers (red are delicious!), corn (canned or thawed to room temp), thinly grated or julienned carrot, green peas, small diced or thin apple slices, red onion slices. 
• Meal prep - best to be eaten in the first 24 hours but it's easily adaptable for meal prep. Slice the cucumber, shred the cabbage, cut the dill and keep separately in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days. (Ideally, you’ll want to place a moist paper towel on top of each ingredient before closing the storage container, it helps the greens to remain fresh.) When ready to serve, drizzle with olive oil, season and mix to combine. The salad is ready for serving.

Ingredients

• 3 cup fresh pumpkin medium diced
• 1 ½ teaspoon red curry paste
• 1 ½ cup canned chickpea drained
• ½ teaspoon salt or more to taste
• pepper to taste
• ½ tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

• Lay out pumpkin on a baking tray and sprinkle with salt and pepper along with a drizzle of vegetable oil.

Notes

• The ingredient quantities in this recipe make delicious and creamy pumpkin hummus, however, you can try with different proportions until you find the right balance. For example, adding less pumpkin and more chickpeas will make your hummus a little drier but you can always balance it off with warm water, lemon juice, and olive oil adding as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
• Add Tahini and olive oil to taste to achieve an even more creamy texture.

Love Gluten free baking recipes? Try our Oatmeal Cookies, the best Air Fryer Peanut Butter Cookies and loaded with chocolate Gluten Free Brownies. 

These thumbprint cookies are one of our favorite cookies to enjoy during Christmas festivities. I hope you enjoy them too!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300°F.

In a medium mixing bowl, add almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix with a spatula or stand mixer.

Scoop dough using a tablespoon or smaller cookie scoop and form into a round cookie shape transfer to a baking sheet and gently press to flatten the cookies. Use your fingers (I actually used a mini cork from my vanilla extract bottle) to create a small dent in the center of each cookie.

Add 1 teaspoon of jam in the middle of each cookie.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, until cookies are slightly golden brown on the bottom.

I suggest checking after 12-15 minutes if cookies are not burnt from the bottom, because every oven is different.

Remove from the oven let cool on the cookie sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler or the microwave.

The cookies should be chilled by now and you can start covering them in chocolate.

For this, first place parchment paper under the cooling rack. Slowly pour the melted hot chocolate over the cookies.

Let the excess drip off first, (you can also scrape it off and use it again if you run short) and transfer into the fridge or freezer for about 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate set.

After the dark chocolate is set, drizzle melted white chocolate and sprinkle dried raspberries on top. Let it set and enjoy!

Add the milk to a medium pot and bring to a simmer. Add in the oats and a teaspoon of salt and cinnamon.

Cook, stirring occasionally for the porridge not to stick to the bottom of the pot. Stir until the oats are creamy and have absorbed the liquid, about 5-8 minutes.

STEP 2

Add in fresh chopped pear, maple syrup (or use date paste as a sweetener), and coconut milk.  Remove from the heat and cover for 2 minutes to let the pear soften and warm through.

STEP 3 - READY TO SERVE

Transfer to your favorite serving bowls and decorate with hazelnuts, pear, peanut butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon, drizzle with maple syrup or with any of your favorite toppings. 

Recipe notes and Variations

• Another way to enjoy this healthy porridge is to add grated pear instead of chopping it. Totally up to you. I usually like to add grated pear but it all depends how short on time I am that day.
• This recipe is delicious and filling plus you get a nice portion of daily nutrition needed like fruit and fiber at the same time. Feel free to swap pear with apple or have both!
• Add in organic chia seeds, flax seeds to make it even more healthy meal.
• This recipe will also taste delicious with homemade salted caramel sauce. Simply remove the maple syrup and add the caramel instead.

This recipe makes about 2 small bowls of porridge or one large.

Ingredients

The full recipe and ingredients can be found in the recipe card below this post.

Instructions

Add the mango, coconut cream or yogurt, agave, and the juice of 2 limes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

If your limes are not very juicy, you can add some water to make it a little runnier.

Divide the pureed mango into a popsicle mold and add the popsicle sticks.

Freeze for at least 4 hours.

Storing Instructions

Variations

I love the tropical flavor combinations of mango, coconut, and lime. Here are some other healthy fruit combinations to try when making fresh fruit popsicles:

• Strawberries and basil leaves
• Blueberries and lemon
• Pineapple and mint
• Raspberry and lime
• Watermelon and rosemary
• Peach and ginger
• Cherry and vanilla
• Banana and peanut butter
• Apple and cinnamon
• Dairy-based combinations, such as peach and cream, strawberry and milk, or banana and yogurt

Other Fun and Creative Ways to Make Popsicles

• Create delicious fruit layers using different fruits (strawberries, kiwis, and blueberries). Pour each layer into the popsicle mold and allow it to freeze between each new layer.  
• Get your caffeine fix by making creamy coffee popsicles. Combine freshly brewed coffee with condensed milk, heavy cream, coconut cream, or coconut milk.
• Combine your favorite brewed tea with agave syrup or honey for herbal tea popsicles. 
• Turn a green smoothie into a green smoothie popsicle. This could include a mixture of spinach, kale, banana, apple, and almond milk. 
• Make refreshing lemonade popsicles by freezing your favorite lemonade in popsicle molds with small pieces of watermelon, pineapple, and strawberries. 
• Make creamy breakfast popsicles combining yogurt and honey. Yum!
• Fruit pops. Ditch the popsicle mold and freeze chocolate-coated fruit with popsicle sticks inserted into the fruit. Frozen bananas dipped into melted chocolate are a delicious option.

How to Avoid Ice Crystals In Popsicles

Adding sugar to the popsicle mixture helps reduce the formation of ice crystals. Freezing the popsicles at lower temperatures also helps to allow the water molecules in the mixture to distribute evenly instead of forming ice crystals. 

Blending the ingredients into a smooth consistency will also help to reduce ice crystals. Always fill the silicone popsicle mold to the top, as extra space in the mold will allow air pockets to form in the popsicle mixture.
