Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large poblano chilies*
6 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped seeded jalapeño chili
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 2/3 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
6 tablespoons crushed tomatoes with added puree
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups frozen petite peas, thawed
6 tablespoons chopped green onions
*Fresh green chilies, often called pasillas; available at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Char poblano chilies over gas flame or under broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and chop poblanos.
  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over low heat. Add poblanos and next 6 ingredients. Cover pan; cook until onion softens, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add rice; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broth, crushed tomatoes and salt. Bring just to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Mix in peas and green onions. Remove from heat. Cover; let stand 10 minutes.
  • Fluff rice with fork and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili is a great dish to experiment with because there are so many different flavors that can work well together. Some classic chili spices include chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. However, you can also add other spices like cinnamon, cloves, or even chocolate.
  • Let your chili simmer for a long time. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. The longer you simmer your chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve your chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Chili is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
