We use this rice as a side dish when we make Mexican dishes. We also love using it with our Cafe Rio Homemade CrockPot Chicken and use it in salads with our Spicy Cilantro Dressing. You’ll love the flavor even if you don’t like cilantro.
Spanish Chili Lime Rice:
2 3/4 c water
4 t chicken bouillon
4 t garlic –minced
½ bunch cilantro
1 can green chiles—or equivalent fresh
¾ t salt
1 T butter
½ onion
1/4 cup lime juice
3 c rice
Blend cilantro, green chilies, butter, bullion, garlic, salt and onion together in food processor. Add your rice, lime juice and water to the rice cooker pan. I don’t measure the water, I add water until the water reaches the first knuckle of my index finger as I touch the TOP of the rice. That’s how they do it in Japan 🙂 Add the chili mixture to the rice and stir. Cook on the white rice setting. When it’s done, give it a good stir. Serve with your favorite Mexican Dishes.
Enjoy! Annette
Spanish chili with lime rice? Sounds very interesting, but I gonna try it for sure, because it looks so delicious here!
Can you make this on the stove top? I think I would use chicken bone broth and water instead of bouillon and extra virgin olive oil instead of butter (I am dairy free) and use a diced Anaheim chili pepper or jalapeno – healthier than canned. Otherwise, it looks like like a great recipe!! Thanks!
Yes! It would work on the stovetop.
