Be sure to rinse the rice well before cooking to remove excess starch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stock:<\/strong> Cooking the rice in stock instead of water adds so much more flavour. Chicken stock works well with most meals, but vegetable stock is a great option if you want to keep the dish vegetarian.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh coriander (cilantro):<\/strong> Fresh coriander is what gives this rice its signature flavour. If you're a fan of coriander, don't be afraid to be generous with it. Add it just before serving to keep the flavour fresh and vibrant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lime:<\/strong> Both the juice and zest are used for the best flavour. The juice adds freshness and a little tang, while the zest gives a lovely citrus aroma throughout the rice. Fresh lime is highly recommended over bottled juice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and black pepper:<\/strong> A little seasoning helps bring all the flavours together. Taste the rice before serving and adjust as needed, especially if using a low-sodium stock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive Oil spray:<\/strong> Used to lightly coat the pan before cooking. You can also use a small amount of olive oil if preferred.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Lime and Coriander Rice is easy to adapt and works just as well with other grains and simple flavour additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Add extra flavour:<\/strong> Saut\u00e9 a little garlic or finely diced onion before cooking, or add a pinch of cumin for a subtle earthy flavour that pairs beautifully with the lime and coriander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Swap the rice:<\/strong> Basmati gives the best fluffy texture, but any long grain rice works well too. You can also use <strong>orzo, quinoa or couscous<\/strong> for a different twist. Simply cook according to the package instructions, then stir through the lime juice, zest and fresh coriander before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Use lemon instead of lime:<\/strong> Fresh lemon juice and zest make a great alternative if you don't have limes on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Change the herbs:<\/strong> Not a fan of coriander? Try fresh parsley instead, or use a combination of parsley and coriander for a milder flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Add vegetables:<\/strong> Stir through cooked peas, sweetcorn, diced peppers or sliced spring onions for extra colour and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Make it spicy:<\/strong> Add a pinch of chilli flakes, cayenne pepper or some finely diced jalape\u00f1o for a little heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Add protein:<\/strong> Turn it into a more substantial side dish by mixing through cooked chicken, prawns, black beans or chickpeas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\"
