Mexican Green Rice (Vegan) image

A colorful dish I had fun making, from a Mexican cookbook that I altered to my liking by using healthier vegan-friendly ingredients. I served it with steamed black beans and ate on tortillas with monterey jack cheese. Yummy!

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 50m

Yield 2 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup rice (preferably long-grain yellow)
2 tablespoons olive oil (I think canola oil would work too. Recipe originally called for 2 tbsp lard)
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
3 poblano chiles
1 3/4 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup cilantro leaf, finely chopped
2 teaspoons lime juice
salt, to taste (I used 1/4 tsp sea salt)

Steps:

  • De-vein poblanos, puree in a blender or food processor with 1/4 cup water, and strain.
  • Soak the rice in boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse it in.
  • cold water; drain very well.
  • Sautee the rice in hot oil for a minute or so.
  • Add the onion. When the rice sounds like sand as it is stirred, add the pureed chiles and continue to cook until thickened.
  • Add the broth, cilantro, lime juice, and salt (to taste).
  • When the liquid comes to a boil, cover, lower heat, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
