Cilantro Lime Rice (from Chipotle)

2 cups basmati rice, unrinsed
1 bay leaf
Salt
1 teaspoon olive oil, optional
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 1-2 limes
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, from 1-2 lemons
 
To cook basmati rice on the stove top:
Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot.  Add rice, bay leaf, and salt to taste (around 2 teaspoons).  Stir and return to a boil.  Boil uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes.
 
Remove bay leaf.  Using a fine mesh strainer, drain rice and rinse with hot water.  Pour into a large bowl.  Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt (around an additional 1/4 teaspoon).  Serve hot or at room temperature.
 
To cook in a rice-cooker:
Add rice, water (according to manufacturer's instructions), bay leaf, salt (around 1 teaspoon), and oil if using.  Cook according to manufacturer's instructions.  When the rice is finished, remove bay leaf.  Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice.  Add more salt to taste (around 1/4 teaspoon).  Serve hot or at room temperature.
 
Serves 12 (makes about 6 cups).
