Spicygreenrice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until it is soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add rice, and stir to coat. Add stock, and bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Turn off heat; let stand, covered, until liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork; stir in cilantro and poblano. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Cook the garlic in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes; take care that the garlic doesn't get too brown or it will be bitter. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic chips to a paper towel. Add the onions and red pepper (add a little more if you like things spicy) to the skillet and cook, stirring, until light brown, about 10 minutes. When the onions are almost done, add the greens in batches and cook, uncovered, just until tender, about 2 minutes. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish. Top with the reserved garlic chips and garnish with cheese.

Steps:

• In a sauce pan combine oil, onion and green pepper. Saute over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle in cayenne pepper. Add heated chicken stock and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Add rice and stir. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Continue simmering over low heat until all liquid is absorbed. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Rinse the rice a few times, until the water that drains from it runs almost completely clear. Set aside to drain well. Put the onion, poblano, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, parsley and salt in a food processor with a splash of the measured stock or water if needed, to help the blades catch the ingredients and break them down. Purée until smooth.
• Heat oil in a medium, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, then add the rice and stir well. When the grains are dry and toasted, and some are starting to color, about 5 to 10 minutes, add the mixture from the blender along with the remaining stock or water.
• When the liquid comes to a rolling boil, give it a good stir, scraping at the bottom of the pot. Put a lid on the pot and turn the heat down to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the rice rest for another 15 minutes before opening the lid. The green purée will have settled on the top of the rice, so gently mix it in as you stir and aerate the rice with a spatula. Taste, season with salt and serve with a wedge of lime.

Steps:

• Wash the spinach thoroughly. Cook in a saucepan over low heat about 5 minutes; do not add water. (There is usually enough water already clinging to the leaves to steam the greens.) Collard greens or kale may take 7 - 10 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onion and tomato for 4 - 5 minutes. Add the cooked greens, lemon slices, and seasonings; stir constantly for a few minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Cook remaining ingredients in butter, stirring frequently, until onion and greens are tender; drain.

Steps:

• Turn a food processor on; drop garlic through feed tube and process until finely chopped. Add 2 tablespoons ginger, chile, basil, cilantro, fish sauce, and sugar; process until finely chopped. Add 1 tablespoon oil and 3 tablespoons water; process to a fine paste. (You should have 2/3 cup.)
• Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over mediumâ??high until shimmering. Add leek and remaining 1 tablespoon ginger; cook until leek is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rice and broth, along with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to mediumâ??low and simmer, covered, until rice is very soft, 17 to 18 minutes.
• Add shrimp; simmer, stirring once or twice, until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in peas and herb paste. Remove from heat; season with salt. Serve immediately, with more cilantro and basil and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a pot over medium-low heat. Stir rice, jalapeno, green onion, and garlic together in the melted butter until rice is completely coated with butter. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, chipotle chile powder, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir chicken stock and tomato sauce into rice mixture. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn heat off and leave pot covered on the burner for 8 minutes. Remove cover and fluff rice with a fork.
