Mexican Green Rice
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 1/4 cups chicken stock, divided
- 3 Tbsp. canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups white rice
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Place parsley, cilantro, peppers, onion, garlic and 1/2 cup of the chicken stock in a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
- Heat oil in a pot on high heat. Add the rice and stir to coat all of the grains with oil. When the rice has lightly browned, add the parsley mixture. Stir for 2 minutes. Add remaining chicken stock to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover the pot. Cook on a low simmer for 15 minutes, or as long as your package of rice indicates.
- After rice is cooked through, remove the pot from heat. Let sit for 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
