CAFE RIO INSPIRED CILANTRO-LIME RICE

from Alicia Steele
     1 c. uncooked long-grain white rice
     1 tsp. butter or margerine
     2 cloves garlic, minced
     1 tsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
     1 (15 oz.) can chicken broth
     1 c. water
     1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
     2 tsp. sugar
     3 Tbsp. fresh chopped cilantro
In a saucepan, combine rice, butter, garlic, 1 tsp. lime juice, chicken broth and water; bring to a boil.  Cover and cook on low 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender.  Remove from heat.  In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp. lime juice, sugar and cilantro.  Pour over hot cooked rice and mix as you fluff the rice.

Serving suggestion: try in a salad with Cafe Rio Inspired Pork and Cafe Rio Inspired Creamy Tomatillo Dressing!
