Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup onion
• 3/4 cup basmati rice
• 1-1/2 cups water
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 1 lime

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Chop onion and add to the pan. Cook until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add rice and cook and stir for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
3. Add water to the rice and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat down to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Helpful hints

• If you are looking for more of a lime flavor, the lime can be cut in half and squeezed over the rice.
• Look for unenriched rice.
