This rice, piquant with flavors of chilies and cilantro, makes a perfect accompaniment to my crab enchiladas.
Ingredients:
2 poblano chiles; roasted, seeded and peeled
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (you can use both leaves and stems)
2 1/2 cups low-sodium or homemade chicken stock
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup long-grain rice
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
salt, to taste
Directions:
1. Blend the chiles and cilantro together in a blender with 1/2 cup of the chicken stock.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet; add the rice and cook stirring, until puffed and golden.
3. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until tender (about 2 - 3 minutes).
4. Add the remaining chicken broth along with the cilantro/chile mixture and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed (about 25 minutes). Check seasonings and add salt as necessary. Toss with a fork before serving.
