Steps:
- Heat a large Dutch oven and arrange carrots and leeks on the bottom. Season ribs all over with salt and pepper and place over vegetables. In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, sherry, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Pour mixture over ribs. Cover and braise for 3 to 4 hours. This can also be done in a slow cooker - just cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

- While still hot, stir in cilantro, scallions, jalapenos, and lime zest. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve half of the rice with the ribs (and carrots and leeks) and reserve extra rice for another meal.

RICE COOKER GREEN RICE
This recipe is adapted from Ingrid Hoffmann's Green Rice recipe (foodnetwork.com) so that it will work in a rice cooker. It has great flavor with just the right amount of heat. I now use this recipe instead of the standard red rice with Mexican dishes. It is great as a side dish with almost any Mexican food. The hub and I have even put left over rice in lightly-fried tortillas to make rice tacos that were out of this world. Note - I use sushi grade rice almost exclusively in my cooking becuase I love the stickier texture. Accordingly, I have not tried making the recipe with standard or brown rice. You may need to adjust the amount of chicken stock, especially if using brown rice. This recipe is very easy to double or triple when feeding a crowd. It is also a tried and true pot-luck pleaser!

Steps:
- Cut chiles into large pieces. Remove seeds and veins for a milder rice, or leave them in for a much spicier rice. I usually remove seeds but leave veins.
- In a blender, combine chile pieces, 1/2 cup chicken stock, garlic cloves, cilantro leaves and salt. Blend until smooth. Add more chicken stock if necessary for easier blending.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft. Add rice and stir for another minute.
- Pour rice/onion mixture into rice cooker. Add chile puree and remainder of chicken stock. Give a quick stir and set rice cooker to the cook setting.
- When cooker cycle ends, fluff rice. Some rice may be crusty on the bottom of the cooker pan - this is the tastiest stuff. The rice may need to steam a few extra minutes on the warm cycle until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and lime juice if desired. You can also garnish with sliced green onion.

- Cover and cook about 40 minutes, or until rice cooker shuts off. Stir in remaining ingredients, except cilantro.
- Cover and allow to stand 10 minutes more. Serve with cilantro.
Tips:
- To achieve the vibrant green color, it's crucial to use fresh pandan leaves. If fresh pandan leaves are unavailable, you can substitute them with 1 teaspoon of pandan extract or 1/2 teaspoon of green food coloring.
- For a more intense coconut flavor, use freshly squeezed coconut milk. If you don't have fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the richest flavor.
- If you don't have a rice cooker, you can cook the rice on the stovetop. Just follow the instructions on your rice package for cooking white rice.
- To make the rice even more flavorful, you can add other ingredients like diced vegetables (such as carrots, peas, or bell peppers), cooked chicken or shrimp, or chopped nuts (such as cashews or peanuts).
- Green rice can be served as a main course or a side dish. It pairs well with grilled meats or fish, curries, or stir-fries.
Conclusion:
Green rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're looking for a simple side dish or a flavorful main course, green rice is a great option. With its vibrant color and unique flavor, it's sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new rice recipe, give green rice a try!
