 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 2/3  cups          chicken broth -- or water
  2                    poblano chilies -- stems
                       and seeds removed -- roughly chopped
 12      sprigs        cilantro -- plus
                       extra -- for garnish
                       salt -- to taste
  1      tablespoon    vegetable oil
                       OR olive oil
  1      cup           medium-grain rice
  1      small         white onion -- diced
  5                    garlic cloves; peeled -- finely chopped

In a 2-quart saucepan, combine broth and chiles. Bring to boil, partially
cover and simmer about 10 minutes, until chilies are very soft.

Pour into food processor, add cilantro and process to smooth puree. Press
through medium-mesh strainer into bowl and stir in salt.

Wipe pan clean, add oil. Over medium heat cook rice and onion, stirring
regularly, until rice is chalky looking and onion soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add warm or reheated chili liquid
to rice, stir once, scrape down rice kernels clinging to side of pan, cover
and cook over medium-low heat 15 minutes. Uncover and check rice. It should
be nearly cooked through. If so, turn off heat, re-cover and let stand 5 to
10 minutes longer to complete cooking. Fluff with fork, scoop into warm
serving dish, decorate with cilantro and serve.
