Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup or more cilantro leaves
  • 1 jalapeno or serrano pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 cups long grain white rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
  • 1 cup corn

Instruction

  • Pulse the spinach, cilantro, pepper, and garlic in a food processor until very finely chopped (almost like a paste).
  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the rice and stir continuously for 5-8 minutes, until the rice is starting to turn light golden brown. Add the water, salt, corn, and green paste from step one. Cover and boil for 5 minutes. Stir, replace cover, and lower the heat to simmer for another 10-20 minutes or until the rice is soft and fluffy. Serve with additional salt, cilantro leaves, and lime if desired.
