Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp neutral flavored oil

  • 1.5 cups of Long-Grain White Rice

  • 2.5 cups Chicken Stock

  • 1 bunch of Cilantro

  • 1 Jalapeno seeded

  • 1/4 cup White Onion

  • 1-2 Garlic cloves

  • Salt to taste

Directions

  • Blend 1 cup of chicken stock, cilantro, jalapeno, green onions, and garlic until smooth. Then wash your rice. If you want your rice to have a bit more kick you can always leave the seeds in the Jalapeno.
  • Heat up a large bottom pot to medium-high heat then add in neutral flavored oil. Then add in your washed rice and toast for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Then add in your puree from the blender along with the remaining chicken stock.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Continue cooking for about 15-20 minutes until rice is tender. Recommended: stirring every few minutes and you can always add more water if needed
  • Once cooked and no liquid remains take the rice off the heat and let it steam for 10-15 minutes
  • Fluff the rice and serve.

Notes

  • Toasting the rice is recommended but not a necessary step if you need to save some time but it does make a difference in the final product. Stirring every few minutes and you can always add more water if needed.
