This Mexican-style rice dish gets its flavor from a mixture of cilantro, garlic and chile pepper that's blended and added to simmering rice. Ingredients:
1 cup fresh cilantro |
2 cloves garlic |
1 fresh jalapeño chili, stemmed |
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/3 cup grated carrot |
salt |
fresh cilantro sprigs |
Directions:
1. In a blender, whirl 1 cup cilantro, garlic, chili, and 1 cup broth until smooth.
2. In a 3- to 4-quart pan over medium heat, stir oil, rice, onion powder, and cumin until rice is pale golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in cilantro mixture, remaining broth, and carrot. Cover, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
3. If desired, season to taste with salt. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
