Here is how you make Mexican Green Rice:

Soak rice in bowl of very hot water 10 minutes (I used brown rice and soaked it in boiling water for 20 minutes). Drain rice & rinse in cold water, let all excess water drain off.In blender, process parsley, cilantro or epazote, garlic, and half of broth until smooth.Lightly brown the rice in the oil in a large, heavy frying pan over medium heat (I used a wok). When rice is golden brown, add the diced chiles and onion, continue cooking until onions are translucent. Stir often & don't let it stick. Add broth mixture from blender and continue to cook for about 7 minutes, stirring often. Add zucchini, corn, remaining broth, and salt. Stir well. As soon as the rice comes to a full boil, turn heat to low and cover for 20 minutes. Stir before serving. Garnish with strips of roasted chile and roasted red bell pepper if desired.Makes 8 servings.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SLM123.
