Green Chile Rice
Yield: Makes 6 servings
This gorgeous dish dressed up in cilatro-green pairs perfectly with savory grilled meats. If you wish, you can further reduce the amount of sodium by rinsing the chilies in a fine-meshed strainer before adding them to the rice.
Ingredients:
1
cup uncooked white rice
1
can (about 14 ounces) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth plus water to measure 2 cups
1
can (4 ounces) diced mild green chiles
1/2
medium yellow onion, peeled and diced
1
teaspoon dried oregano
1/2
teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2
teaspoon cumin seeds
3
green onions, thinly sliced
1/3
to 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Preparation:
