Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup long grain white rice
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cups hot vegetable or chicken broth, preferably homemade
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, stemmed, seeded (see Note), and cut into strips
1 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
1/2 cup Mexican queso fresco or feta cheese
1/2 bunch flatleaf parsley, leaves only, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the rice and the onion and stir frequently for about 7 minutes, until the onion is softened but not browned. Add the hot broth, salt, and chile strips to the pan and bring it back up to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes. Add the corn and simmer for 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the rice is perfectly tender. Add the crumbled cheese and parsley and fluff with a fork, mixing all the ingredients evenly. Transfer to a warmed serving bowl and serve immediately.

This pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used vegan cheese in this recipe. It turned out great! The pilaf was still creamy and flavorful.

This pilaf is a great way to use up leftover corn. I also added some black beans and diced tomatoes to make it a complete meal.

I had some leftover rice pilaf and I decided to try making arancini with it. It turned out great! The arancini were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for. Otherwise, it was a delicious and flavorful dish.

I'm not a huge fan of corn, but I really enjoyed this pilaf. The roasted chiles and fresh cheese balanced out the sweetness of the corn perfectly.
