Green Jasmine Rice--Vanessa

1 3/4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup jasmine or basmati rice

1 cup (packed) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup unsweetened light coconut milk
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 large garlic clove, minced

Bring 1 3/4 cups water and salt to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Stir in rice; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 18 minutes.

Meanwhile, puree cilantro, coconut milk, ginger, lime juice, and garlic in blender. Mix puree into rice.

I like to make this with added lime juice or even lime zest but that might be too limey for some.
