Serrano Chili Rice

 

Recipe By :Susann Geiskopf-Hadler & Mindy Toomay

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Rice

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 medium fresh serrano chile peppers

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain brown rice

2 garlic cloves -- minced

2 1/2 cups defatted low-sodium vegetable broth

or vegetable stock

1/2 cup tomato juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

Remove and discard the stems of the peppers and use the edge of a spoon to

scrape out the seeds for a milder dish. Sliver the peppers lengthwise and set

aside.

 

Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the chili powder

and stir it around in the pan for about 30 seconds, then add the rice and stir

to coat it with the oil and chili powder. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2

minutes, to toast the rice a bit. Stir in the garlic, then add the stock, tomato

juice, oregano and salt. Stir to combine and bring to a strong simmer over high

heat.

 

Cover the pan, reduce the heat to very low and cook 30 minutes. Remove the lid,

distribute the chili slivers over the rice and quickly replace the lid. Cook an

additional 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow the pot to stand without

disturbing the lid for at least 10 minutes before serving.

 

Transfer the rice to a serving bowl and toss with two forks to distribute the

chili strips evenly in the rice. Serve hot.

chili strips make it as pretty as it is delicious. They also add a bit of heat,

of course, but not too much. "
