Lime Rice Cafe Rio Style

2 T. butter
1 yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups long grain rice
8 t. chicken bouillon granules or 7 bouillon cubes
2 t. cumin
1/2 t. salt
6 cups water
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
Fresh limes

In a frying pan, saute onion and garlic in the melted butter.  In square baking dish, like a 9 x 13, put rice, bouillon, onion and garlic, cumin and salt.  Add water and stir to mix.  Cover tightly with foil.  Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.  Remove from oven.  Add cilantro and fluff with a fork.  Squeeze lime juice over the top and serve.

I usually half this recipe to serve 8.  I love baking the rice because it always comes out perfectly and I don't have to watch it so closely.  Thanks, Stacie, for that great idea!
