1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 Tablespoons canola oil
1 cup long-grain brown rice

Here is how you make Arroz Verde:

In a food processor, combine peppers, scallions, cilantro, spinach, and salt with 1/4 cup water. Process until pureed with no large pieces remaining. Set aside.In a pot (with a lid), heat oil over medium-high heat. Saute the rice for about 3 minutes.Add the poblano puree and simmer for about 1 minute.Then add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Turn heat to low and cover with a lid.Cook until rice is done and liquid is largely absorbed. My rice package directions indicated to cook for 50 minutes, but with the poblano puree added, I cooked mine for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit, covered, for about 10 minutes. Number of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JDELVO.
