Mexican Green Rice (Arroz Verde) (Rice Cooker)
Mexican Green Rice (Arroz Verde) (Rice Cooker)
As a fan of seasoned rice, this is really good, I made this on 8 Sep 2018 and was well liked by the family as well. This uses a simple cook and warm rice cooker.
Equipment
- Rice Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ small onion, finely diced
- 1 cup dry Jasmine rice, or any long grain white rice
- 1½ cups chicken stock, fresh or from powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced, stems are no problem as well
Instructions
- Add the butter to your rice cooker and place on Cook. When the butter is melted, add the onion and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice, stock, salt, and cilantro, and stir together. Place the lid on the cooker and allow to cook until it switches to Warm setting. Leave on Warm for 10-15 minutes.
- Fluff with rice paddle, serve as a side dish and enjoy.
Notes
Variant: 1. Add a diced poblano chili which will add to the green color of the rice, and the chili and cilantro can be optionally puréed, provided by H. Stave, United States.
Yes! Arroz Verde is a true Mexican dish. I grew up eating Mexican food; family is from New Mexico, but we live in Texas now. My mom would have this rice with chicken or fish.
Thanks for visiting, H., and thank you for the clarification and the name. And I agree, this is delicious rice.
