Ingredients
2 cups, water
1 cup, uncooked long grain rice
2 tbsp, lime juice (1 lime approx.)
1/2 tsp lime zest (optional)
4 tbsp chopped Hatch Green Chiles (from a can) or 2 tbsp chopped, fresh roasted fresh Hatch Green Chiles
1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Add two cups of water to a saute pan and heat over high heat. While it’s warming up, add in 1 cup of rice and 2 tbsp lime juice and stir.
2. When the water starts to boil, cover, turn heat to low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes – until rice is tender and water has been absorbed.
3. While the rice cooks measure out the green chiles.
4. When the rice is done, turn heat to medium and push rice to the sides of the pan so that you have some space in the middle.
5. Add the green chiles to this space in the pan and let the chiles warm up for about a minute or so, then stir them into the rice. This allows for the chiles to warm up and being to release their flavor before being fully incorporated.
6. Sprinkle in your salt and lime zest. Stir thoroughly and serve.
Notes
Timing of this recipe assumes you are using green chiles from a can or fresh chiles are already roasted and chopped.
