This is a basic recipe I use for a couple different Mexican dishes. It is simple and has a great flavor.
3 cups rice, rinse and drain several times
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 can green chilies (small can) or equivalent fresh
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon butter
1/2 cup onion (more if you like)
Blend cilantro, green chilies,onion, garlic and salt together in a food processor or blender. Place rice in the cooker; add the water, bouillon and the cilantro mixture. Cut the Tablespoon of butter in fourths and place it on top. Cover and cook as directed with your rice cooker.
**If you are not using a rice cooker just adjust the amount of water needed. As with Minute Rice you only need 3 cups of water not 4.
Stovetop directions:
Bring water to a boil and add all the ingredients. Simmer covered for about 30 minutes.

This looks delicious! I'm not a big rice person because it's usually just the bland vehicle for something but this looks awesome! I'm going to try this, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love cilantro...but have never made it in rice. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteYum! Sounds delicious!! I love cilantro and green chilies...sounds similar to Chipotle's except for the addition of green chilies!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you cook!
Great recipe, Tiffanee.
ReplyDeleteNext time I do rice, I am going to try this. I am not much for eating rice. Probably because it has no taste.
