Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 minutes (without removing lid). Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, stir in cilantro and remaining 1/2 Tbsp lime juice if desired (taste to see if you want the additional 1/2 Tbsp lime juice first) and let rest 10 minutes then serve warm.
