Green Cilantro Rice

This is a recipe that we've been making for years and is really quite simple to make, but is oh so good!

Ingredient List:

1 Tbsp. Butter/Margarine
3 C. Water
4 tsp. Chicken Bouillon Granules
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. White Sugar
1/2 bunch Cilantro
1/2 Onion, roughly chopped
2 tsp. Garlic, minced
1 sm. can Diced Green Chilies
3 C. Minute Rice, uncooked

First start out by melting the butter in the water over low heat.  This will give you time to prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Next, add the onion, cilantro, garlic, and chilies to a food processor and chop until slightly chunky. 

(Shameless Plug Warning!  Pictured above is the Pampered Chef Manual Food Processor and the Pampered Chef Adjustable Measuring Spoon).  We love ours and if you'd like to buy them for your own kitchen, click the links.)

With the Pampered Chef Manual Food Processor, push repeatedly on the lever, which spins the blade and as you can see creates the perfect chop.  Also works great for just chopping onions, or making fresh salsa at your dining table, but I digress.

Now add the chopped mixture and all the remaining ingredients, EXCEPT for the Rice.

Once everything is boiling, then add the rice, cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until all liquid has been absorbed.

The final result is a very pretty looking, and best of all, great tasting rice!
