ARROZ VERDE (MEXICAN GREEN RICE)
Nice Mexican twist on boring old rice. If you can't find parboiled rice at your grocery store, long-grain rice may be substituted, but just won't be quite as yummy.

Original recipes comes from The Complete Book of Mexican Cooking, however I've made some adjustments (of course)! I prefer the roasted chiles but fresh chopped chiles can be used. If a smooth texture rice is preferred see note at bottom of instructions.

ARROZ VERDE (GREEN RICE)
This is an authentic Mexican rice dish from Jim Peyton, and despite it's somewhat odd sounding ingredients, it is fantastic!!! Great with any meat dish. I sometimes make this for myself for dinner, with nothing but the rice and a glass of white wine to enjoy with it. Leftovers heat up well, too.

GREEN RICE (ARROZ VERDE)
There are many ways to make arroz verde, but most have something in common: a brightness and depth from the addition of plenty of fresh green ingredients, such as chiles and herbs. This recipe toasts the rice in oil first, then seasons it with a purée of onion, poblano, jalapeños and herbs. For a more complex dish, replace the cooking water with chicken stock or vegetable stock, and serve it with a side of soupy black beans.

Steps:
- Rinse the rice a few times, until the water that drains from it runs almost completely clear. Set aside to drain well. Put the onion, poblano, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, parsley and salt in a food processor with a splash of the measured stock or water if needed, to help the blades catch the ingredients and break them down. Purée until smooth.
- Heat oil in a medium, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, then add the rice and stir well. When the grains are dry and toasted, and some are starting to color, about 5 to 10 minutes, add the mixture from the blender along with the remaining stock or water.
- When the liquid comes to a rolling boil, give it a good stir, scraping at the bottom of the pot. Put a lid on the pot and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the rice rest for another 15 minutes before opening the lid. The green purée will have settled on the top of the rice, so gently mix it in as you stir and aerate the rice with a spatula. Taste, season with salt and serve with a wedge of lime.

Steps:
- Cover the raw rice in very hot water and set aside to soak for 15 minutes.
- Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Drain the rice well and spread out to dry on a towel or a large baking sheet in an area with good ventilation for about an hour.It is important that the rice not be too wet when you fry it.
- Meanwhile ,place the poblano chiles,chopped and deveined,1/4 cup of the cilantro and about 1/4 cup of the broth in a blender and blend to a smooth puree.You may strain the puree if you want it to be very smooth(I rarely do as any miniscule pieces will be cooked and soft at the end).
- Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat until hot.Add the rice and cook,stirring,for a minute or two.
- Add the onion and lower the heat slightly,cooking for another couple of minutes,stirring frequently,until the onion is translucent and the rice sounds like sand when stirred.
- Add the chile puree and cook until it thickens slighty.
- Add the broth,lime juice,the remaining cilantro,and salt,to taste(you may want to omit the salt if the broth is salty).
- Bring to a boil.When it comes to a boil,cover the pot,and lower the heat to low.Simmer for 20 minutes,or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the broth.
- Serve hot.
