A colorful dish I had fun making, from a Mexican cookbook that I altered to my liking by using healthier vegan-friendly ingredients. I served it with steamed black beans and ate on tortillas with monterey jack cheese. Yummy!

Time 50m

Yield 2 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup rice (preferably long-grain yellow)
2 tablespoons olive oil (I think canola oil would work too. Recipe originally called for 2 tbsp lard)
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
3 poblano chiles
1 3/4 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup cilantro leaf, finely chopped
2 teaspoons lime juice
salt, to taste (I used 1/4 tsp sea salt)

Steps:

  • De-vein poblanos, puree in a blender or food processor with 1/4 cup water, and strain.
  • Soak the rice in boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse it in.
  • cold water; drain very well.
  • Sautee the rice in hot oil for a minute or so.
  • Add the onion. When the rice sounds like sand as it is stirred, add the pureed chiles and continue to cook until thickened.
  • Add the broth, cilantro, lime juice, and salt (to taste).
  • When the liquid comes to a boil, cover, lower heat, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

1/4 teaspoon jeera powder (cumin)
3 teaspoons taco seasoning (taco bell or any other)
1 maggi vegetable bouillon cube (or any other vegetarian bouillon)

  • dice up all the veggies, except the mushroom which should be in larger pieces.
  • Cook the rice, Keep aside.
  • Heat oil, add onion, add serrano pepper.
  • Fry till lightly brown.
  • add jeera (cumin) Fry lightly till golden.
  • add veggies, do not add water as the water from the mushrooms will be enough to cook the veggies, add the bouillon cube.
  • cook till veggies are done.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • add rice, mix.
  • then sprinkle taco seasoning lightly on top and mix lightly.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality rice. A medium-grain rice, like basmati or jasmine rice, will give you the best results.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1 3/4 cups of liquid. This will give you perfectly cooked rice that is not too dry or too mushy.
  • Add some aromatics to the rice. This could include things like garlic, onion, bell pepper, or jalapeƱo peppers. You can also add some spices, like cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors and become even more delicious.
