I was looking for a good cilantro rice recipe and tried this one. I hit the jackpot! What a great rice dish. Like others I added a large clove of garlic but I put it in the blender with the cilantro and low sodium chicken broth. I waited till the cilantro broth was added to the rice in the pot to add the grated lime rind. Didn't want any left in the blender. It is flavorful and the family loved it too. Thanks for posting.

I have never eaten at Café Rio, but love cilantro and tried this recipe. EXECELLENT!! My husband and kids all had seconds! I sautéed a clove of pressed garlic with onions and used low-sodium chicken broth. I cooked in in a low-profile oven-proof pan and cooked it in the oven at 350 for about 35 minutes, until rice was tender. I likethe oven method for even cooked rice without the crusty, sometimes burned bottom. Making it now!
