Copycat Chipotle Rice Recipes

COPYCAT CHIPOTLE RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it with cold water for a minute or two, until the water runs clear. Drain the rice well.
• If you're using a rice cooker, measure the rice and water using the manufacturer's measuring equipment. Place the rinsed rice, water, bay leaf, and 1 teaspoon of the rice bran oil in the rice cooker and turn it on.
• If you're using the stovetop, place the rinsed rice, water, and bay leaf in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil before reducing it to a simmer. Cover the rice and cook, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes, until the rice has absorbed all the water.
• When the rice is finished cooking, add the remaining 2 teaspoons of rice bran oil to the pot without stirring. Replace the cover and let the rice rest for 10 minutes.
• Add the salt, cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice and stir the rice using a fork. Add additional salt, if desired.

CHIPOTLE COPYCAT LIME RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil or butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted.
• Add rice and lime juice, stir for 1 minute.
• Add water and salt, bring to a full rolling boil.(Some people have had success with 1 cup of water, but when I've made it with 2 it worked for me).
• At boiling, cover, turn down to simmer over low heat until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
• Add in the cilantro and fluff rice with a fork.

CHIPOTLE CILANTRO LIME RICE (COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add rice, bay leaf, and salt to taste (I like 2 teaspoons). Stir and return to a boil. Boil uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes (for me it's always 12, but some readers have reported mushy rice after 12 minutes, so keep an eye on yours).
• Remove bay leaf. Using a fine mesh strainer, drain rice and rinse with hot water. Pour into a large bowl.
• Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt (I like an additional 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add rice, bay leaf, oil if using, and salt to taste (I like 2 teaspoons). Stir and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
• Remove bay leaf. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt (I like an additional 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Add rinsed rice (see notes), water (according to manufacturer's instructions, see notes), bay leaf, salt (I like 1 teaspoon), and oil if using. Close rice cooker, plug in, and turn on. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
• When the rice is finished, remove bay leaf. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Add more salt to taste (I like 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Follow the instructions above using the following times: 40 minutes for Basmati on the stove top, 45 minutes for long-grain on the stove top, and 60 - 70 minutes for a rice cooker (or according to manufacturer's instructions). 2 cups brown rice makes 16 servings, 1/2 cup each (higher yield than white rice).
