Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place chopped peppers and broth into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Step 2
Reduce heat and simmer 10-12 minutes, or until peppers are tender.
Step 3
Allow mixture to cool (if you blend it hot, it will fly out of the blender and burn you), then puree in a blender (broth and all) along with cilantro and salt.
Step 4
Place onion and rice into a saucepan with the oil, and cook, stirring, until rice is opaque and onions are tender.
Step 5
Add garlic and cook briefly, until it becomes fragrant.
Step 6
Stir in broth mixture from the blender.
Step 7
Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.
Step 8
Allow to sit with the pan lid on away from heat for 12-15 minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve.
