MEXICAN GREEN RICE



Mexican Green Rice image

Roasted poblano peppers are the key to this authentic Mexican Green Rice. I've also been adding a handful of spinach to it lately. So good!

Provided by Patrick Calhoun | Mexican Please

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup rice
2 poblano peppers
10-15 sprigs cilantro
1 handful spinach (optional)
1/2 onion
1 garlic clove
2 cups stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
olive oil

Steps:

  • Roast the poblano peppers in the oven for 20-25 minutes. You can flip them over halfway through the roasting period if you want.
  • De-stem and de-seed the poblanos. Add them to a blender along with 10-15 sprigs of cilantro, a handful of spinach, 1/2 onion, and 1 garlic clove. Combine well.
  • Add a dollop of oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup of rice and cook until opaque and starting to turn golden brown, stirring regularly. This should only take a couple minutes so keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  • Add the blender puree to the rice and cook for a couple minutes, stirring regularly. Add 2 cups of stock and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let cook until all of the liquid is absorbed, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Give a stir and cover the rice, letting it sit in its own steam for a few minutes.
  • Take a final taste for salt level, adding more if necessary. Serve immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your Mexican rice taste its best. Look for ripe tomatoes, tender peppers, and firm, sweet corn.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the rice, make sure to spread it out in an even layer so that it cooks evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the rice will steam instead of fry and will be mushy.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth you use to cook the rice will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a broth that you enjoy the taste of, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Rice is done cooking when it is tender but still has a slightly firm bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will be mushy.
  • Serve immediately. Mexican rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. The flavors will meld together as it sits, but the rice will start to dry out.

Conclusion:

Mexican rice with green peppers and onion is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made with fresh or frozen vegetables. With its vibrant colors and flavorful ingredients, Mexican rice is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
