Steps

1

Cook first three ingredients on stove just like you are cooking rice with package directions, but use the vegetable broth and water.
2

Above picture is how mine turned out Then allow to cool
3

In sauté pan, sweat onions and garlic
4

Add to that lime zest and cilantro. Looks like this when done
5

Cook just a liitle longer and add all juice from the two limes
6

Once the sautéed mixture has cooled a bit, place all in a food processor or blender
7

Once in food processor, blend slowly and start adding the milk, or cream if you choose, to the onion and cilantro mixture. Mine came out like this
8

Now take the cooled cooked rice, put in a casserole dish for the oven large enough for all ingredients
9

The combine all together in a prepared casserole dish. Stir in some shredded cheddar cheese if you like and maybe some pads of butter. I like to add some cheddar cheese to the top and a little Panko for crunch. This is what mine looked like just before the oven

Cook in center of oven 350 degrees for about 15 - 20 minutes done. Enjoy.
