How To Make Arroz Al Poblano
- Serves:
- 4
- Preparation Time:
- 10 minutes
- Cooking Time:
- 25 minutes
- Total Time:
- 35 minutes
Step 1: You will need:
- 2 poblano chillies, de-seeded and chopped
- 500 ml chicken broth
- 1 bunch of coriander, chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- 240 g medium grained rice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 6 tbsp sweet corn
- 1 blender
- 2 saucepans and one lid
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 spoon
Step 2: Begin the base
Put a saucepan onto a medium to high heat. Add the chillies and the coriander. Pour in enough stock to cover them, bring it to the boil and add the salt. Allow it to cook for roughly 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool down slightly.
Step 3: Blend
Pour the ingredients into the blender and blend it until it becomes a smooth, well combined purée.
Step 4: Make the rice
Put the other saucepan onto a medium to high heat and allow it to warm through. Once hot add the oil and the onions. Fry them for a few minutes, just enough to give them a little colour. Add the rice and fry for a few minutes with the onions. Add the garlic and stir it in. Add the corn, chilli purée and the remaining stock. Bring it to a simmer, cover it with a lid and turn down the heat. Cook until the rice is thoroughly done, which will take about 15-20 minutes.
Step 5: Serve
When it's cooked, let the rice sit for a few minutes so that the flavours have a chance to settle. Serve it as a side dish with meat, or on its own with flour tortillas.
