Bringing a little heat! I used a full Serrano pepper with all the seeds🙌🔥. This rice is so flavorful, and unique compared to a common Spanish rice, or plain rice. I like its earthier flavor as it brings the taste of the taco up a notch! Definitely will make this again. Thanks!

So good! This is super easy, and delicious. This is the second time I’m making it. It’s a hit. Thank you!

Very tasty! Made exactly as the recipe suggested. I used one seeded Serrano pepper. Served with Oh She Glows enchiladas.

Amazing 👏 rice.  I tried this recipe and my family loved it.  Will definitely do it again

This rice is delicious! Will definitely be making this again!

How to Make Green Rice

jalapeno, seeded (or leave seeds

lime,

low-sodium chicken broth

cumin

black pepper

white basmati or jasmine rice

First make the green sauce: In a large high powered blender or food processor, add in garlic, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, fresh lime juice, chicken broth, cumin, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Blend or process until completely smooth.

Place a medium pot over medium high heat. Slowly pour in the green sauce and fold in the rice, making sure it is evenly distributed in the pan. Once the sauce is simmering, reduce heat to low, cover the skillet immediately and cook for 20minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from heat (keep the lid on -- DO NOT OPEN), and allow rice to steam for another 10 minutes, then fluff rice with a fork. Serve with your favorite meal and garnish with extra cilantro and/or jalapeno slices for a kick of heat. Serves 4.

I made this green rice twice in one week! It is wonderful! I paired it with your mango, jalapeno, cilantro dressing on a green salad with lots of avocado. So good!

The green rice recipe is absolutely delicious! I’ve made this more than once and is a crowd pleaser! Highly recommend if you have guests over or need a tasty add on for a meal!! I also like how it has some veggies &amp; other nutritious foods. Instead of the chicken broth &amp; the other rice options listed on the recipe; I substituted for beef bone broth &amp; I used Arborio rice, yet was still tasty. 5/5 stars :))

I usually have trouble cooking rice on the stove but I followed this recipe to the T and it was perfect. So aromatic, bursting with flavor, and the perfect addition to black beans, pico de gallo, and guacamole. I had never thought to cook my rice in a flavorful liquid, this is literally a game changer. Thanks for a great recipe!

SO fresh and delicious! My package of rice said to cook it for 15 then steam for 10, so that's the only adjustment I made. This is perfect for meal prep and it will be in my rotation moving forward. YUM. Thanks for another awesome recipe, Monique!
