A French culinary phrase that means "everything in its place". Gathering all the prepared ingredients beforehand helps to create a streamlined and lower stress cooking environment.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the rice and saute until the rice becomes white and slightly browned.
Add in the garlic, salt, and lime zest. Cook until the garlic is fragrant (about 2 minutes).
Add in the water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low for 20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed by the rice.
Remove from heat and fold in the cilantro and lime juice.
