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.

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.

SWEET BELL PEPPER RICE
Normally a pepper and rice dish has a Mexican or Spanish kind of flair to it. I wanted something a little more Italian, and this is what I came up with.
