Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 poblano peppers, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
salt to taste
1 cup Mexican crema
2 cups grated Chihuahua cheese

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
  • Heat oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add rice and cook until transparent, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Combine poblano chiles, water, and salt in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour over rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid has almost been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Add crema and Chihuahua cheese and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.

This rice dish was a disaster! The rice was overcooked and the cheese was rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it still turned out terrible. I will not be making this again.

This rice dish was okay. It was easy to make, but the flavor was a bit bland. I added some salt and pepper to taste, but it still didn't have much flavor. I probably won't make this again.

This rice dish was so easy to make and it turned out great! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped green bell pepper and it gave the dish a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
