- 1 jalapeno chili
- 3/4 cup Romaine lettuce leaves, coarsly chopped
- 3/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/3 cup tomatillos, coarsely chopped
- 2 tbs green onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 cups water
- 1 tbs chicken seasoning
- 1 1/2 cup white rice
- 2 tbs oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
In a blender or food processor, whirl chili, lettuce, cilantro, tomatillos, green onions, and garlic until smooth. Pour the puree into a 1-quart glass measure and add enough broth to make 3 cups.
In a 2-3 qt pan over medium -high heat pour in green liquid and add rice and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is tender to bite - 25-30 minutes. Stir with a fork, and add more salt to taste.
