Tons of finely chopped cilantro, combined with a few simple spices and you have the perfect easy cilantro rice made in just 20 minutes to serve as a side, or in a burrito!
In a mini food processor, blend the cilantro, garlic clove, ginger, and about 2 tbsp olive oil so that it forms a paste. Add more olive oil if needed.
Heat a skillet to medium heat. Add some olive oil. Add the cilantro paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked rice and mix until the paste is fully incorporated into the rice. Be careful not to mash the rice by over mixing (add olive oil if necessary).
Add salt, pepper, sugar, and lemon juice to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
