Ingredients

8 servings

2 cups spinach
1/2 cup or more cilantro leaves
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup canola oil
2 cups long grain white rice
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
1 cup corn

Steps

Pulse the spinach, cilantro, pepper, and garlic in a food processor until very finely chopped (almost like a paste).
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the rice and stir continuously for 5-8 minutes, until the rice is starting to turn light golden brown. Add the water, salt, corn, and green paste from step one. Cover and boil for 5 minutes. Stir, replace cover, and lower the heat to simmer for another 10-20 minutes or until the rice is soft and fluffy. Serve with additional salt, cilantro leaves, and lime if desired.
