Categories     Rice     Side     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Hot Pepper     Gourmet     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
4-ounce can mild green chiles, drained and chopped
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth
1 scallion green, sliced thin, if desired

Steps:

  • In a small heavy saucepan cook onion in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Stir in garlic, chiles, and rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is translucent, about 1 minute. Add broth and salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook pilaf, covered, until liquid is evaporated and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Fluff pilaf and stir in scallion.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right rice: Use a short-grain or medium-grain rice, such as Calrose or Arborio. These types of rice will absorb the cooking liquid and become tender and fluffy.
  • Rinsing the rice: Before cooking, rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess starch. This will help prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
  • Using the right ratio of water to rice: The general ratio of water to rice for cooking green rice is 1.5:1. However, you may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice you are using and the desired consistency of the rice.
  • Adding flavor: In addition to green chiles, you can add other ingredients to the rice to enhance its flavor. Some popular options include cilantro, lime juice, cumin, and garlic.
  • Cooking the rice: Cook the rice according to the instructions on the package. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve.

Conclusion:

Green rice with green chiles is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The rice is cooked in a flavorful broth made with green chiles, cilantro, and lime juice. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and refreshing.
