Rice Cooker Brown Rice And Green Chiles Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
• Prepare the instant long grain and wild rice mix according to package directions.
• Spread 1/2 the cooked rice mix over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. In a bowl, mix the sour cream and green chiles. Spread 1/2 the sour cream mixture over rice, and top with 1/2 the cheese. Repeat the layers.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bubbly.

Steps:

• Cut chiles into large pieces. Remove seeds and veins for a milder rice, or leave them in for a much spicier rice. I usually remove seeds but leave veins.
• In a blender, combine chile pieces, 1/2 cup chicken stock, garlic cloves, cilantro leaves and salt. Blend until smooth. Add more chicken stock if necessary for easier blending.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft. Add rice and stir for another minute.
• Pour rice/onion mixture into rice cooker. Add chile puree and remainder of chicken stock. Give a quick stir and set rice cooker to the cook setting.
• When cooker cycle ends, fluff rice. Some rice may be crusty on the bottom of the cooker pan - this is the tastiest stuff. The rice may need to steam a few extra minutes on the warm cycle until it reaches your desired consistency.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and lime juice if desired. You can also garnish with sliced green onion.

Steps:

• Place lettuce, cilantro, green chiles, tomatillos, green onions, and garlic in a blender. Puree, adding enough broth to make 3 cups liquid.
• Heat oil in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and saute until opaque, about 5 minutes. Add broth mixture and salt; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
