Broccoli Cheese Rice Casserole is a creamy, cheesy, flavor-filled side dish perfect for holidays on any weeknight dinner. This classic baked green rice casserole is filled with rice, broccoli, and cheese, and water chestnuts add that extra crunch.

Arroz Verde (Mexican Green Rice)

butter

poblano pepper (2 large peppers, seeded)

onion

cilantro (finely chopped)

garlic (minced)

cumin

salt

rice

vegetable broth

Chop all the fresh produce. Make sure to remove the seeds from the poblano peppers before dicing. You can chop the entire bunch of cilantro, including the stems. (Be sure to chop it finely.)

Set a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the butter, diced poblano peppers, onion, cilantro, and garlic. Sauté for 5 to 8 minutes, until the onions and peppers are soft.

Stir in the ground cumin, salt, and rice. Stir well so that all the grains of rice are coated with butter and seasoning.

Pour in the vegetable broth. Stir, then cover the pot with a tightly fitting lid and simmer for 15-17 minutes. Do not stir again, and do not repeatedly lift the lid.

The rice is done when it looks dry and fluffy on top and there are vent holes covering the surface of the rice.

Remove the pot from heat, keep it covered, and let it steam another 5 minutes. Then fluff and serve warm.

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

Tbsp avocado oil

garlic, skins removed and minced

sea salt

jalapeño pepper, seeds

cilantro, large stems removed ((as recipe is written, about 1 large bundle))

tsp sea salt

Cilantro

Lime wedges

Begin by rinsing the white rice in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear. Set aside.

To a blender add water, pepper, cilantro, sea salt, and spirulina and blend on high for 30 seconds or until completely combined. Set aside.

Heat a large saucepan, dutch oven, or skillet (with a secure lid) over medium heat. Once hot, add avocado oil then onion and garlic and a healthy pinch of sea salt. Sauté until just tender&nbsp;— 3-4 minutes. Then add well-drained rice and begin toasting, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes.&nbsp;

Slowly add the green mix from the blender to the pan and stir to fully combine&nbsp;— it should just cover the rice. Increase heat to high until the mixture reaches a low boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and set a timer for 18 minutes. DO NOT open the lid until the timer goes off. At that point, the rice should be fluffy and the liquid should be absorbed. Turn off the heat, leave the lid on, and let the rice rest for 10 minutes before removing lid so the moisture can redistribute&nbsp;— this will help prevent mushy rice.

Add lime juice or cilantro wedges as a garnish for serving. Rice is best when fresh, but will keep in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. It is freezer-friendly up to 1 month.
