The rice was still delish though; I want to try it sometime with the full amount of cilantro. I love cilantro! This rice was easy to put together and was cooked in no time. It was done way before the chicken!
Note: 7/30/2011- I made this a few days ago with brown rice. Still just as good- check the bottom of this post for method and picture.

Dishy! (tapping on shoulder wildly!) I started storing my cilantro in a mason jar with water and covering it with a plastic produce bag and it prolongs its life for AGES! I got the idea from Elise @ Simply Recipes here:

Oh my gosh!! (Rolling eyes). I used to do that with cilantro and parsley when I lived in the States- I had TOTALLY forgotten! I think you were the one who told me in the 1st place. Sheesh. Thanks- now I'll start doing that again!

Mmm coriander and lime is one of my favourite combinations!
Also, if you wash, dry and chop your herbs as soon as you get them home and throw them in a container or plastic sealed bag in the freezer they last indefinitely and you always have chopped fresh herbs on hand whenever you need them :) (I cheered the day I discovered that one, now I have a whole drawer full in the freezer :P)
so, just enough water to cover the stems in the bottom? Because, like Dishy, my starts to slim so soon....
Jam
Thanks, Vegetation!
Yes Jam, just stick the stems in water, like you're sticking flowers in water.
