Categories     Side     Vegetarian     Casserole/Gratin     Potluck

Number Of Ingredients 15

2½ cups long grain white rice
1 tsp. salt
5 cups water (or broth)
3 anaheim peppers
2 poblano peppers
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ a yellow onion
6 medium-sized tomatillos
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
½ cup cotija cheese, crumbled
8 oz. light sour cream
½ tsp. dried, ground coriander
1 tsp. dried oregano
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Roast the peppers and remove skins. If you are using an oven, turn it on to the broiler setting. Brush each pepper with 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable, sunflower, or another high-smoke point oil. Arrange the peppers on a baking sheet, then place the sheet on the highest rack in your oven. Keeping a close eye on the peppers, remove them once dark, blackened spots appear. As with stove-top roasted peppers, place in a bowl and cover for 15 minutes. Follow the above directions for removing the skins and seeds. Cook the rice. Place the 5 cups of water and salt in a large pot with a lid. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the rice, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 22-25 minutes, until the water has evaporated completely. Turn off the heat. Use a fork to fluff up the rice, then cover again and let the rice sit for 5 minutes. Attach the large chopping blade to your food processor (or use a high powered blender). Add the roasted Anaheim peppers, one of the Poblano peppers, garlic, onion tomatillos. Blend until smooth. Add in the sour cream until completely combined. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly oil or butter a 9×9 inch baking pan. Dice up the remaining Poblano pepper. Fold the diced Poblano pepper as well as the blended pepper mixture into the rice. Add about half of the cheddar, half of the monterey jack cheese and half of the cotija cheese, coriander, oregano, pepper and salt, stirring until everything is evenly combined. Pour the rice into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle on the remaining cheddar, monterey jack, and cotija cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is nicely golden brown. Allow the rice to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice came out really mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

I'm not a huge fan of peppers, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The cheese and lime crema helped to balance out the heat of the peppers.

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was mushy and the peppers were undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The rice was a little dry, but the peppers and cheese were delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would add more liquid to the rice.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, or maybe some salsa or hot sauce.
