Not commonly seen in restaurants but it is delicious. This is my mom's recipe for it. It is simple, flavorful, and pure.
All my measurements are approximated for this usually I eyeball everything.

Ingredients:
-Bring a small pot of water to boil don't ask you'll see why later.
-1 ¼ cups White Rice
-2 ½ cups water or chicken stock (I had leftover stock from the mole sauce I made today)
-1 tsp Chicken Bouillon (if using water if not replace with salt)
-Salt to taste (yes more salt if necessary even if you replaced it with the bouillon you don't want to salt it solely with bouillon it'll taste to strong)
-6 medium tomatillos
-½ onion minced
-2 cloves garlic minced
Directions:
-Blend tomatillos with 2 ½ cups water or stock in a blender along with salt and some bouillon.
-In pot that you started boiling water add rice stir until liquid Is white then turn of heat and drain rice on a strainer (remove all water I don't know why but my mom does this it's an important step for this rice dish)
-Now heat generous amount of oil in a deep pan or pot sautee onions and garlic until fragrant. Add rice and stir.
-Then add blended tomatillos bring to a boil,
-cover and simmer on low for about 30 minutes. Check afterwards to make sure it is fully cooked.

Nathan,
This is a new recipe for me.
Never seen Mexican Arroz Verde before.
Ya vistes my Gren Rice? Es a base de espinaca.
Marilyn,
Yo ago otro a base de cilantro que es differente al de mi madre, y le meto sofrito cubano, cilantro molido con el sofrito y caldo de pollo con comino y sal.
Nathan,
Can you pretty please try to find me a good vegan recipe for the arroz rojo? I've attempted a few but they don't taste anywhere near the real thing!
Thanks,
Belinda
Hello Belinda,
Thank you for the visit! You can make a delicious arroz rojo that is vegan :-) Follow the recipe for arroz rojo on my blog and substitute the chicken bouiilon powder, for a vegan bouillon powder alternative, or use a good quality vegetable stock to substitute the water and bouillon :-) Here is the link to my arroz rojo:
