Island Rice

Very good rice - I love the addition of lime. I made this with Recipe #222225 and Recipe #362340 for ZWT5 Jammin Java Jivers. Thanks!

This rice was really nice! I made this in my rice cooker and I doubled the recipe, following the liquid:rice ratio for my rice cooker instead just to make sure it would work. I didn't use lime zest and substituted garlic powder for the fresh garlic since my garlic press was in the dishwasher at the time ;) I served with beef chimichangas, homemade salsa and guacamole... yum! DH loved it too (but he put ketchup on it! ha ha, strange, I know!). Made for ZWT5.

Excellent flavor just as written! I served it with fish and it was a perfect combination. Made for ZWT5.

This was a lovely rice dish! Made as directed except that I added 2 cloves of garlic. Very flavourful with no one ingredient overpowering. Will definately make this again! Made for ZWT5 - Ali Baba's Babes.
