Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 poblano peppers, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
salt to taste
1 cup Mexican crema
2 cups grated Chihuahua cheese

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
  • Heat oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add rice and cook until transparent, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Combine poblano chiles, water, and salt in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour over rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid has almost been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Add crema and Chihuahua cheese and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the green rice and didn't even realize they were eating spinach.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I loved the green rice. The spinach flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other ingredients.

The cheese didn't melt evenly in my green rice. Maybe I didn't stir it enough.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices.

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