Cilantro Lime Rice

salt & pepper                                       3 C chicken broth or water
2 T chopped cilantro                            1 T butter or olive oil
2 T sugar                                              Fresh squeezed juice from 1 lime
2 C basmati rice

Place broth, butter and rice with 1 T cilantro in rice cooker.  Cook until all of the moisture is absorbed.
Stir rice.  In a small bowl stir together the lime juice, remaining cilantro and sugar.  Pour over rice and stir well.  Can be served immediately, refrigerated for 2 days or frozen.  To thaw, place in air tight container with 1 T water and microwave for 1 minute intervals stirring each minute until heated.  The water will keep it from drying out.

(I served this with Mexican dishes to the Elders and it was a hit!)
