Mexican Green Rice (Vegan)
- 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)
- 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.
