Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1 fresh poblano chile pepper - seeded, deveined, and chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup drained canned peas
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup minced carrot
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup white rice, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook the corn kernels in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the poblano pepper, onion, peas, garlic, and carrot into the corn; cook and stir another 5 minutes.
  2. Pour the water and milk into the mixture; bring to a boil. Allow the butter to melt into the boiling mixture. Add the rice and stir. Season with chicken bouillon; cover the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer the mixture until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
