CILANTRO RICE



Cilantro Rice image

Borrowing from the fresh flavors of arroz verde and reminiscent of Chipotle's cilantro-lime rice, this simple dish is a low-effort, high-reward accompaniment to all good things, such as pork chops and crispy tofu. Though diced fresh onion could season the rice, onion powder is a savory bedrock with its concentration of umami, especially once bloomed in oil. This aromatic dish plays to the strengths of the cilantro plant: The stems cook with the rice, lending their peppery brightness, and the tender leaves confetti the dish for a final viridescent flourish.

Categories     grains and rice, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves separated, both finely chopped
1 cup long-grain white rice, such as jasmine or basmati
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
1 large jalapeño, thinly sliced
Juice of 1/2 lime, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil, then stir in the onion powder and cilantro stems until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the rice and stir until oil-slicked, just a few seconds.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups water, raise the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan and cook until all of the water is absorbed, 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, to steam for 10 more minutes.
  • Fold in the salt, cilantro leaves, jalapeño and lime juice. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and lime juice as desired.

JALAPENO RICE- LOW FAT



Jalapeno Rice- Low Fat image

This is a super-easy, tasty, flavorful, low fat side dish that my husband & I concocted to go with our tequila lime marinated chicken (Lowry's and Super Target in the US carry a yummy 30 minute marinade). I've seen this posted with sour cream and/or cheese added, but we were going for low-fat here. Adding these would cut the heat of the peppers, but by removing many of the seeds we were able to make this just spicy enough while keeping it low fat.

Tips:

  • Use fresh jalapeños for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh jalapeños, you can use canned or pickled jalapeños, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños before chopping them. This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers.
  • If you like spicy food, you can add more jalapeños to the recipe. Just be sure to taste the rice as you cook it to make sure it's not too spicy for your taste.
  • You can use any type of rice for this recipe, but long-grain rice is a good choice because it cooks quickly and easily.
  • Be sure to rinse the rice before cooking it. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the rice according to the package directions.
  • Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and then add the jalapeños, corn, black beans, and cilantro.
  • Stir in the lime juice and salt to taste.
  • Serve the rice immediately or let it cool and then store it in the refrigerator for later.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. This recipe is low in fat and calories, and it's packed with flavor. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give this jalapeno rice a try.
