Side Dishes
GREEN RICE
(4 servings)
1 cup/115g rice
2 tablespoons lard or
3 tablespoons corn oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
3 poblano chiles, deveined, pureed with 1/4 cup water, and strained
1-3/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt
Soak the rice in very hot water for 15 minutes. Drain it; rinse it in cold water; then drain very well.
Saute the rice in hot lard or oil for a minute or so. Add the onion. When the rice sounds like sand as it is stirred, add the pureed chiles and continue to cook until thickened.
Add the broth, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste. When the liquid comes to a boil, cover, lower heat, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
