Rusty's Cilantro Lime Rice

I love to make this to have with the creamy chicken enchiladas recipe.

1 C. uncooked rice
1 tsp. margarine
1 clove garlic, minced...I leave this out
1 tsp. grated lime peel
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
2 C. chicken broth
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

Combine rice, margarine, garlic, lime peel, pepper and broth in 2-3 quart saucepan.  Bring to a boil; stir once or twice.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.  Stir in cilantro.

Servings:  6

To make this recipe better, do the following:

Add in Herdez salsa verde sauce at the same time the cilantro was stirred in.  For this recipe 2-3 Tbsp. were added.

I also added some lime juice at the beginning and the end.
