CILANTRO LIME RICE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Do not brown; lower the heat if necessary.
• Add the garlic and rice and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until toasty and fragrant.
• Add 2½ cups water, along with the salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Taste the rice; if it is still a bit firm, add a few more tablespoons of water and cook a few minutes more.
• Off the heat, add the lime juice, butter, and cilantro; then mix and fluff the rice with a fork. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

GREEN ONION GARLICKY WILD RICE

Steps:

• Heat a medium saucepan with a lid over medium-high heat. Melt the coconut oil and add the scallion whites, garlic and serrano and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic and scallions start to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the cumin, lime zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the rice and stir until all the beads of rice are coated. Add 2 to 3 cups water (according to the package directions) and stir. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve with a spritz of lime and sliced scallion greens.

HOW TO MAKE GREEN RICE

Steps:

• 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.

GREEN RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Saute the rice, stirring constantly, until golden and crackling, about 5 minutes. Pour in the reserved green puree and stir to combine. Transfer to a 4-quart baking dish or casserole. Cover with foil and bake until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir with a fork and serve hot.
• Place the tomatillos, jalapenos, and water in a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade. Puree just until chunky. Then add the remaining ingredients and puree about 2 minutes more, or until no large chunks remain. This salsa keeps in the refrigerator, in a covered container, about 3 days.
