When do you add the
When do you add the cilantro? every recipe left out when to add the cilantro!!!!
watch themin the store...
If you watch them as they make it in the store then I’d say the answer is - after the rice is cooked. It seems the cilantro shold be chopped and then (with some more salt and lime juice) mixed into the rice.
sugar
I thought in the store I saw them put sugar in- I know it could be salt but it was a ton and I am pretty sure it was sugar- it was after the rice was cooked and they were mixing it in a big silver bowl and also adding the cilantro at the same time. Hmmm…..
Possible Correction
I think the amount of water needs to be increased to 1 1/3 cups. (The water/rice ratio is always 2-1).
It is cilantro, salt and additional lime juice they add after cooking.
rice
It’s not sugar, it’s salt. And add the salt, lime and cilantro right before serving. I love Chipotle, I used to work there and know the recipes by heart.
