Ingredients
- 5 poblano peppers, halved and seeded
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
- 1/2 small onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
- 1 sprig fresh epazote leaves
- salt to taste
Instructions
1
Position the oven rack approximately 6 inches away from the heat source and set the oven's broiler to a high temperature. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then arrange poblano peppers cut-side down on the prepared surface.
2
Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the skin of the peppers has turned dark and blistered. Transfer the blackened peppers to a bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and let them steam as they cool for about 20 minutes. Remove the skins from the peppers.
3
In a blender, combine 4 poblano peppers, 1 cup of chicken broth, an onion, and garlic. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency.
4
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then cook the rice by stirring it continuously until it is evenly browned, taking about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the poblano chile mixture and remaining 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth, along with epazote and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover it, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the rice is soft and all the liquid has been absorbed, taking around 20 to 25 minutes.
5
Slice the remaining poblano chile and use it as a garnish with the cooked rice.
