Ingredients

  • piece poblano chile pepper
  • ounce mild green chiles
  • cup coarsely chopped cilantro
  • cup spinach
  • cups Vegetable Stock, or low-sodium vegetable broth
  • cup medium-grain brown rice
  • piece medium yellow onion
  • teaspoon ground cumin
  • piece jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • cup cooked black beans
  • piece lime zest
  • piece salt

Instructions

  1. Add the poblano pepper, green chiles, cilantro, and spinach to a blender and puree. Add some of the Vegetable stock, as needed, to achieve a smooth consistency. Add the mixture to a medium saucepan with the remaining vegetable stock. Add the brown rice and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, until the rice is tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
  2. Place the onion in a large saucepan and sauté over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the onion from sticking to the pan. Add the cumin, jalapeño pepper, and black beans and cook for 5 minutes longer. Fold in the cooked rice and lime zest. Season with salt.
