Rice Cooker Green Rice

- Yields:
-
2-3 cups
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 poblano chiles
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 cup cilantro
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 cup white rice
- black pepper
- 4 scallions, sliced (optional)
directions
- Cut chiles into large pieces. Remove seeds and veins for a milder rice, or leave them in for a much spicier rice. I usually remove seeds but leave veins.
- In a blender, combine chile pieces, 1/2 cup chicken stock, garlic cloves, cilantro leaves and salt. Blend until smooth. Add more chicken stock if necessary for easier blending.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft. Add rice and stir for another minute.
- Pour rice/onion mixture into rice cooker. Add chile puree and remainder of chicken stock. Give a quick stir and set rice cooker to the cook setting.
- When cooker cycle ends, fluff rice. Some rice may be crusty on the bottom of the cooker pan - this is the tastiest stuff. The rice may need to steam a few extra minutes on the warm cycle until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and lime juice if desired. You can also garnish with sliced green onion.

This is by far the best green rice recipe designed for the rice cooker that I have tried. The flavor was excellent and so fresh tasting. I served it alongside shredded pork carnitas tacos and everyone in the family loved it. I will definitely be making this rice often. Thanks Comfort Cookin' for sharing this wonderful recipe. Made and reviewed for the Spring 2011 PAC.

I am a wife and mother (to a beagle named Daisy) currently working as an administrative assistant to put the hub through a PhD. My grandpa likes to joke that I am earning my PhT - putting husband through.
Besides the obvious enjoyment from cooking - and eating! - I love to read, snuggle my doggie, do crafts and hike. Our favorite vacation spot is Glacier National Park, though my dream vacation would be a trip to Japan. In a moment of weakness the hub promised to take me, and I intend to hold him to it!
I have been using Recipezaar for the last two years and am so appreciative for this group of wonderful home cooks and chefs that share their recipes.
