Serves 4
1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves
1/4 white onion, chopped
1 garlic clove
1 3/4 cups water
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
In a blender, combine fresh cilantro leaves, fresh parsley leaves, white onion, garlic clove, and water. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper and blend until smooth, 15 seconds.
In a medium saucepan, heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high. Add 1 cup and stir to coat. Add herb mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon and fluff with a fork. Serve rice with lime wedges if desired.
