Ingredients

• 2 cups chicken stock, warm
• 2 poblano chile peppers
• 1 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped (about 1 cup)
• Salt
• 3 tablespoons corn oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (about 2 cups)
• 1 cup medium or long-grain white rice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 scallions, white and pale green parts only, sliced, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a blender combine, warm chicken stock, poblano peppers, cilantro and 1 teaspoon salt.

Blend until smooth.

In medium saucepan heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute onion until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add rice and garlic and stir for another minute. Add chili puree, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cooking until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat, fluff with a fork. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Garnish with scallions and serve.
