Once upon a time I had this rice as a side dish in South Carolina with Sausages. If hot n spicy isn't for you, then you can eliminate the hot peppers. This recipe is adapted from The Official Fajita Cookbook by Richard L. Read more . Miller
Ingredients:
2 cups white rice
1 can serrano chilies or 2 fresh chiles, seeded and diced. (optional)
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
3 bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 vidalia onion, chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup parsley chopped
1 tsp salt
2 cans chicken broth
Directions:
1. Soak the rice in a bowl of hot water for 15 minutes.
2. Rinse the rice thoroughly with cold water, then drain well and set aside. In a blender, puree the chilies, garlic, cilantro, bell peppers, onions and parsley. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven and fry the rice until it is golden brown. Add the puree and salt to the rice and cook the mixture for 5 minutes. Pour the broth over the rice. Cover and steam the rice for 20 minutes over low heat until the broth is absorbed and the rice is done.
