Ingredients

1 3/4 cups chicken broth or water
2 roasted poblano peppers, stems, seeds and skin removed
1 roasted jalapeno pepper, stem, seeds and skin removed
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, divided
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Spanish onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 1/4 cups long-grain rice

Directions

Combine the broth and chiles in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, and then partially cover and simmer gently over medium to medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Pour the chile mixture into a food processor, add 1/4 cup cilantro and process to a smooth puree. Season with salt and keep warm.

Wipe the pan clean, add the oil, and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute. Add the warm broth mixture, stir, and season with salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes, covered. Fluff with a fork, transfer to a bowl, and stir in remaining cilantro.

Hmmm, didn't this have cream/milk in the show
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Or am I thinking of another show? I just caught the tail end but seem to remember Bobby saying the cream/milk would absorb... into the rice and make it creamy? Haven't made this yet, but will in the next day or two.Read more

Needed WAY more liquid
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

We made this rice and didn't think the rice/liquid ratios were even close; found out about 10 minutes into the cooking that... it required a minimum of another 12 oz of liquid. After adding that, the dish was very good. Read more

Loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this rice. Had a dinner party a few weeks back and everyone enjoyed it! Having my parents for dinner this weekend and... making it for them! It's really good. Did change the rice to liquid ratio, one part rice, two parts chicken broth.Read more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I made this to accompany the Goat Cheese Enchilidas. Excellent rice, though I too added an extra 1/2 cup of... water to the mix. Spicier than I thought, but great taste. Hubby and I both gave 9 out of 10 stars in our cookbooks. Did take a little longer than planned to do, but I also roasted my own peppers.Read more

I might try again
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I followed the advice of others and increased the liquid to the proper 2:1 ratio and the rice turned out tender enough. I... wasn't really thrilled by the flavor though. I had to change the broth to vegetable for a vegetarian guest, but I find it hard to believe that would be the big difference. I found the end product a bit blah.Read more
