Lime Cilantro Rice with Clams

This is where you find the clams!
Ingredients

2 cups white rice
2 cups Clam Juice
1 pint minced clams with juice
1 cup chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 lime

Preparation

Boil Clam Juice.  Add rice.  Boil for 5 minutes, reduce heat and cover. Stir rice frequently to prevent sticking.  When most of the liquid is absorbed, add lime juice and cilantro and clams.  Cook for 2 minutes until clams are tender but not tough.  Cook on lower heat to avoid boiling, it should simmer for 2 minutes (bubbles around edges but not a rolling boil)

Serves 6-8

Notes from Liz
Depending on the rice you use, you may need more liquid.  Add more Clam Juice.  This recipe is easily multiplied for a crowd.
