Ingredients
- 5 poblano peppers, halved and seeded
- 3 ½ cups chicken broth, divided
- ½ small onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
- 1 sprig fresh epazote leaves (Optional)
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place poblano peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
- Combine 4 poblano peppers, 1 cup chicken broth, onion, and garlic in a blender; blend until smooth.
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat and fry the rice, stirring continuously, until evenly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add poblano chile mixture and remaining 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, epazote, and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until rice is soft and all the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Slice remaining poblano chile and serve as a garnish with the rice.

Reviews
Made only half the recipe and it was still enough for 4 people. I used Hatch Chiles since they’re in season and I just bought 25 lbs. It was just ok, more on the bland side. There was a bit of spiciness due to the chiles but other than that there was really no flavor. And Hatch Chile’s are very flavorful.
