Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup uncooked white rice ((we used basmati, but jasmine will also work))
1 Tbsp avocado oil
1/2 cup chopped white or yellow onion ((or sub shallot))
3 cloves garlic, skins removed and minced
1 healthy pinch sea salt
1 ¾ cup water ((or sub broth of choice for more flavor))
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeds and stems removed and chopped ((or green bell pepper for less spicy rice))
2 cups cilantro, large stems removed ((as recipe is written, about 1 large bundle))
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp spirulina ((for added color // if you don't have it, omit))
Cilantro
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Begin by rinsing the white rice in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear. Set aside.
  • To a blender add water, pepper, cilantro, sea salt, and spirulina and blend on high for 30 seconds or until completely combined. Set aside.
  • Heat a large saucepan, dutch oven, or skillet (with a secure lid) over medium heat. Once hot, add avocado oil then onion and garlic and a healthy pinch of sea salt. Sauté until just tender - 3-4 minutes. Then add well-drained rice and begin toasting, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Slowly add the green mix from the blender to the pan and stir to fully combine - it should just cover the rice. Increase heat to high until the mixture reaches a low boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and set a timer for 18 minutes. DO NOT open the lid until the timer goes off. At that point, the rice should be fluffy and the liquid should be absorbed. Turn off the heat, leave the lid on, and let the rice rest for 10 minutes before removing lid so the moisture can redistribute - this will help prevent mushy rice.
  • Add lime juice or cilantro wedges as a garnish for serving. Rice is best when fresh, but will keep in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. It is freezer-friendly up to 1 month.

Provided by Mike Hultquist

Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 poblano peppers
1 jalapeno pepper (chopped)
1 small onion (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
3 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 cups long grain rice
Salt to taste
For Serving - fresh squeezed lime wedges, chopped cilantro, sliced peppers, spicy chili flakes

Steps:

  • Set your oven to broil. Slice the poblano peppers in half lengthwise and place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet, skin sides up.
  • Broil the poblanos about 15 minutes, until the skins char and blacken. They should puff up.
  • Remove, cool slightly, then peel off the skins and discard them along with the seeds and stems.
  • Rough chop the poblanos and set them aside.
  • Add the roasted poblanos, jalapeno, onion, garlic, cilantro, chicken stock and salt to taste to a food processor. Process until smooth. Set Aside.
  • While the poblanos are roasting, rinse and drain the rice 3 times, or until the water runs clear.
  • Heat the oil in a large pan or pot to medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the reserved green puree. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer on low for 25 minutes, or until the rice absorbs all of the liquid, fluffing the rice a bit with a wooden spoon a few minutes before it is done.
  • Remove from heat. Fluff up the rice with a fork, then garnish and serve. Great with fresh squeezed lime.
