This copycat Chipotle brown rice recipe is an upgrade to your conventional (and, let's face it, plain) side dish of rice at dinner. Brown rice provides a nutritious, fiber-packed alternative to white rice. And the cilantro and lime provide an extra dash of delicious Mexican flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups brown rice
- 1 lime , juiced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cups chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
-
1

-
3
Transfer cooked rice to a large serving bowl and cool slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.
-
4
Whisk together lime juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl.
-
5
Stir mixture into rice. Fold in cilantro.

Spicy Oven-Roasted Plums
Several years ago, I was looking for a recipe to take advantage of our bumper crop of plums and came across a recipe for roasted plums. After tweaking it a bit, I have developed a very versatile version that my family and friends love. Season with ground white pepper and use it as a side dish for pork or chicken. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and spoon it over vanilla bean ice cream, angel food, or pound cake for dessert! Play around with the spice combination by adding cloves, allspice, or cayenne. Be adventurous!
