Green Poblano Rice
In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the broth and chiles, bring to a boil, then simmer gently over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the chiles are very soft.
Pour the chile mixture into a food processor, add the cilantro (stems and all), and process to a smooth puree.
Press through a medium-mesh strainer into a bowl and stir in the salt.
Wipe the pan clean, add the oil and heat over medium.
Add the rice and onion, and cook, stirring regularly, until the rice is chalky looking and the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook a minute longer.
Then mix in the broth with rice and cook for another 10 – 15 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro.
