Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roast the poblano and jalepeno chiles directly in the flame of a gas burner, turning until charred on all sides. (Alternatively, if cooking with an electric stove, broil until charred.) Put chiles in a bowl, cover and steam until soft and cool, about 20 minutes. Peel, seed, and chop.
- Spread the tomatillos on a foil-lined pan, season with salt, pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the oven until soft and slightly charred, 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut tortillas into wedges and lay out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray both sides with olive oil spray and bake until crisp and golden, turning half way in between, 8 minutes per side.
- Saute onions and garlic in 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil until soft and starting to brown, 8 minutes. Add peppers, tomatoes, cumin, paprika, sugar and water and cook until tomatoes begin to burst and flavors come together, 5 minutes.
- Divide sauce between 4 small dishes. Poach eggs and lay 1 egg on each plate over sauce. Garnish with a couple of baked tortillas, crumbled queso fresco, a pinch of paprika and chopped cilantro.

MEXICAN EGGS AND RICE
We eat this for breakfast whenever we have leftover rice. It's so simple and tasty. You can use plain rice (and we often do), but we especially like it with leftover Recipe #37782. I think it's best with homemade salsa, or a fresh salsa purchased from the refrigerated section of your grocery store. The best thing about eating salsa at breakfast, is that it changes the way your coffee tastes! Something about Mexican breakfast and coffee are so right together. Ingredient amounts are per person; you can easily scale to the number of servings for your family.

Steps:
- Reheat your cooked, leftover rice.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil or bacon grease in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Grate the cheddar so it will be ready when your eggs are.
- Fry the egg to the your preferred level of doneness. I really like it with the yolk still runny, so when you cut into the egg on your plate, the yolk mixes with the rice and salsa. This takes about 2 minutes cooking on the first side, then I flip it over and cook for about 20-30 seconds on the other side.
- Spoon the rice onto a plate.
- Top with the fried eggs.
- Immediately sprinkle the grated cheddar on top, then spoon on the salsa.
- If you are making more than one serving, you won't need to add the whole amount of oil to the skillet for the next servings, as some of the oil will still be in the pan.
- This is an easy weekday breakfast. On weekends when we want a bigger breakfast, we'll also warm up some canned black beans, and tortillas to serve on the side.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350. Put the oil in a large, heavy, ovenproof saucepan with a lid over low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Add the coriander seeds, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon, chilies, bay leaves and 1 teaspoon salt. Raise the heat to medium and continue to cook and stir for 4 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat in the oil. Add 3 cups water, cover the pan, transfer to the oven and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, keeping it covered, and let it rest somewhere warm.
- Fill a large, deep saucepan with enough water to come 2 inches up the sides. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to as low a simmer as possible so the water is almost completely calm and only the tiniest of bubbles float to the surface. Carefully break the eggs into the water, cook for 1 minute, and then remove the pan from the heat, leaving the eggs in the water; let rest for 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs; drain on paper towels.
- When the eggs are almost done, stir the parsley, cilantro and lemon juice into the rice and fluff it with a fork. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Put the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; when it’s hot, add the kirmizi biber and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Divide the rice among four individual serving bowls. Place two eggs on each portion, drizzle chili butter on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

ONE POT POACHED EGGS & RICE
Living in the far east, rice and eggs were the same as bacon, sausage and eggs in U.S. When you cook on one kerosene burner you do tend to put everything in one pot.

Steps:
- Drain tomatoes, reserving juices; pulse in a food processor until finely chopped. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a large, deep ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Add chuck and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add pepper, garlic, chopped onion, and 2 teaspoons salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire, scraping up browned bits. Add tomatoes; cook 3 minutes. Stir in rice, broth, and tomato juices. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender, about 17 minutes.
- Stir rice mixture; make 4 wells and crack 1 egg into each. Season with salt, cover, and bake until whites are set and yolks cooked as desired, 6 to 8 minutes. Top with sliced onion; serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use day-old rice. This will help the rice stay separate and fluffy when cooked.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any excess starch and help prevent the rice from sticking together.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet to cook the rice. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
- Do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Stirring the rice will release starch and make it gummy.
- Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and fluff up.
- Serve the rice with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Mexican rice with poached eggs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The rice is fluffy and flavorful, and the poached eggs are perfectly cooked. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
