Recipe inspiration

I made this Rice Cooker Cilantro Brown Rice to go with my White Bean & Sweet Potato Taco Filling.

I found the flavor to be really good, and so easy to use in the sauce base jar. I wanted to try it in everything.

And, those cilantro rice side dishes are so good. Love cilantro? Be sure to try my Cilantro Pesto.

In case you aren’t familiar with this cilantro cooking base, I’d describe it as a salsa or a relish, maybe a sauce.

It’s an easy way to get lots of flavor into your dishes.

Try it on eggs or rice, or scoop it with chips. Stir a spoonful into guacamole or maybe a canned store-bought salsa.

It helps you to get the flavor you want for soups, beans, and all sorts of other Mexican and Latin-inspired meals.

This cilantro cooking base includes cilantro, onion, green peppers, olive oil, and garlic for a rich flavor.

The rice cooker does all the work for you. Then, when it’s done, toss the rice with the chopped cilantro.

Use the cooked rice as a side dish or add it to tacos or burritos for a healthy flavor kick!

Notes about the recipe:

I use veggie broth in everything I make, even a chicken or meat dish.

I love the flavor of veggie broth.

If you have a favorite chicken broth that you make or buy, feel free to use that. Just know that the dish won’t be vegetarian any longer.

But, if you’d rather use your tried and true favorite broth, that’s fine. I wouldn’t recommend beef broth for this, as the flavor would be too strong.

Can I use white rice in this recipe?

Brown rice takes more liquid than white rice, so if you use white rice or a blend or brown and white, adjust the liquid accordingly.

Just take a look at the back of your rice package, there will most likely be directions for rice to water ratios.
