anyone know how to make mexican green rice?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Rice


has mexican cream,mexican cheese,homemade green sauce,layered in a pan.then baked in oven.
green sauce is made of chile dulce, chile poblano, chile verde.i dont remember exact instructions..but i know these are the only ingredients…. please help me.

Here are two for you. The first is a good reading of many versions I’ve seen from Mexican sources, but always cooked stove top: no cheese and no oven. The second comes closest to your description, but seems quite americanised by comparison. You might have to hybridise the two..?

Arroz Verde
(Mexican Green Rice)
================

Serves 6

1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed
2 fresh poblano chile peppers, inner membrane and seeds discarded

2 tablespoons high-quality vegetable oil
1/2 medium yellow onion
1 cup long-grain brown rice
2 1/4 cups vegetable broth
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Combine chile peppers, garlic, sweet pepper, 1/2 cup cilantro and onion in blender; pulse until finely chopped but not puréed. Set aside.

2. Add oil to medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Add chile mixture and sauté for 3 minutes. Add rice and sauté until grains are thoroughly coated, about 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Stir, reduce heat to low and cover tightly. Simmer 40-45 minutes.

3. Remove pan from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and add salt. Garnish with additional cilantro
