Arroz Verde (Mexican Green Rice) image

Nice Mexican twist on boring old rice. If you can't find parboiled rice at your grocery store, long-grain rice may be substituted, but just won't be quite as yummy.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I really enjoyed this arroz verde. The tomatillo salsa helped to balance out the flavor of the cilantro. I will definitely be making this again.
