- 2 1/4 cups raw parboiled white rice (such as Uncle Bens)
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- In the jar of a blender, add all ingredients except for the rice and puree.

- Place the chile puree and rice into an ovenproof container and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake until the rice is tender and all liquid has evaporated, about 40 minutes.
