Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Start by washing and roughly chopping the poblano, jalapeno, cilantro, and spinach. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Blending

    In a blender, combine the chopped poblano, jalapeno, spinach, and cilantro with the coconut milk and lime juice. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, add the long grain rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Combine and Cook

    Once the rice is cooked, pour the blended mixture over the rice. Stir well to combine, cover, and let it cook on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm. Enjoy your Arroz Verde!
