Vibrant Mexican Rice
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1 fresh poblano chile pepper - seeded, deveined, and chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup drained canned peas
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup minced carrot
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup white rice, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
Instructions
1
Preheat a large saucepan over medium-high heat, and then warm the oil within it. Cook the corn kernels in the hot oil until they become soft and tender, approximately 5 minutes.
2
Next, combine the sliced poblano pepper, chopped onion, frozen peas, minced garlic, and grated carrot into the saucepan with the cooked corn. Continue to cook and stir the mixture for another 5 minutes.
3
Subsequently, add water and milk into the saucepan with the corn mixture. Bring the contents to a rolling boil, allowing the butter to dissolve and blend seamlessly into the boiling liquid.
4
Now, add the rice to the saucepan and stir it in thoroughly. Season the mixture with chicken bouillon, cover the saucepan, and then reduce the heat to a lower medium setting. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until all of the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, approximately 20 minutes.
