Green Rice With Poblano Chiles

Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

4 servings

Ingredients

5 poblano peppers, halved and seeded
3 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
1/2 small onion
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
1 sprig fresh epazote leaves (optional)
salt to taste

Instructions

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.

Combine 4 poblano peppers, 1 cup chicken broth, onion, and garlic in a blender; blend until smooth.

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat and fry the rice, stirring continuously, until evenly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add poblano chile mixture and remaining 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, epazote, and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until rice is soft and all the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Slice remaining poblano chile and serve as a garnish with the rice.
