Green Rice (Arroz Verde) image

Green rice (arroz verde) is one of my favorite side dishes. You can add chiles and other spices but my favorite is the plain version just with cilantro. I cook the rice in water but you can also use chicken broth.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan and cook rice, stirring frequently, until transparent, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Combine water, cilantro, and salt in a blender; blend until smooth and cilantro is chopped very finely. Pour over rice and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until rice has absorbed all the liquid and is soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove rice from heat and fluff with a fork. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from this recipe. The rice was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the cilantro.

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

I made this recipe with brown rice instead of white rice. It was still delicious, but it took a little longer to cook.

I'm not a big fan of poblano peppers, so I used a green bell pepper instead. The rice was still delicious.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by using less jalapeño and poblano peppers.

This green rice recipe is a must-try! The flavors of the cilantro, jalapeño, and poblano peppers create a delicious and unique dish. I especially loved the addition of the corn and peas, which added a nice sweetness and texture to the rice.
