    List of Ingredients




    1/2 pound tomatillos, husked, washed and cut into quarters
    1 large jalape�o chili pepper, seeded and chopped
    1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
    1 cup cilantro , stems and leaves
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    3 - poblano chilies roasted, peeled and seeded
    4 - romaine lettuce leaves
    2 - green onions
    3 cloves garlic, peeled
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 1/2 cups long-grain rice

    Recipe



    1 Place the tomatillos, jalape�os and 1 cup cold water in a blender or a food processor. Pur�e just until chunky; then add onion, cilantro, salt, chilies, lettuce, green onions and garlic. Pur�e until smooth, about 2 more minutes. This may be done in batches unless using a large food processor.
    2 In a heavy large sauce pan, heat the olive oil over medium-heat. Saut� the rice, stirring constantly until golden and crackling, about 5 minutes. Pour in the pur�e and stir to combine.
    3 Cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 40 to 45 minutes.
    4 Stir with a fork and serve hot.
    5 Note: This flavorful green rice is a delicious accompaniment to any grilled meat, chicked or fish. Its heat can be controlled by the amount of chilies used. Taste the jalape�os and poblanos before adding them to check their "temperature" and adjust the recipe accordingly.
