The ingredients for Poblano Rice are:

1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup onion, diced
1 poblano chiles, stemmed, seeded + chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup water, plus more if needed
1/2 cup brown rice

Here is how you make Poblano Rice:

Heat 1/2 of the oil in a medium, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the poblano chiles and saute, about 8 minutes. Mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with the salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let cool.Transfer the mixture to a blender and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Measure the liquid yield from the blender, adding more water if necessary to yield 1 cup of poblano liquid. Adjust seasoning to taste. Meanwhile, clean the skillet, place over medium heat and add the remaining 1 oil. Fry the rice until slightly golden. Pour the poblano puree into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat to medium-low and cover tightly. Cook for 30 minutes, turn off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
