- Rinse the rice in cool water and drain. In a blender or possibly food processor, puree the lettuce, chiles, garlic, onion, cilantro, parsley, and water.
- Heat 3 Tbsp. of the butter in a large pan, add in the rice, and cook over medium heat till translucent/soft, stirring occasionally and taking care not to scorch the butter. Add in the pureed ingredients and the salt, bring to a boil, and cook for 2 min. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 min till the water has just evaporated. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 min. Add in the remaining 2 Tbsp. butter and fluff up with a wooden spoon. Garnish with minced cilantro or possibly basil, if you like.
- Serving suggestion: goes well with barbecued chicken, rabbit, fish, or possibly seafood instead of the usual beans. Can be used with cheese and beans as a filling for burritos. Storage: Keeps for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Variation: You can add in orange zest, epazote, hoja santa (yerba santa), basil, or possibly marjoram for different flavor accents. Puree them along with the lettuce and chives.
- Yield 6 c.
- The poblanos give the rice a satisfying, smoky quality and the serranos make the dish warm and spicy. Take care not to over estimate the water, as no one enjoys gummy rice (except people without any teeth).
