Green Rice

This is my version of Cookie + Kate's green rice.

Ingredients:
oil
1 1/2 c. long grain brown rice
3 cups broth
2 handfuls of spinach
2-3 peppers (poblano or serrano or jalapeno or combination)
1-2 T. minced garlic
sprinkle of Kosher salt

In the food processor or blender, puree spinach peppers, garlic, and a sprinkle of salt.  (I just pack the food processor full of spinach after putting the sliced peppers on the bottom.)
Rinse rice.
Heat a few table spoons of oil in the bottom of a heavy pan with a lid.  Add the rice and stir.  Lightly brown the rice for about 10 minutes.  Put green puree in with the rice and stir then let simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.  Add broth, cover pot, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat.  Simmer until liquid is absorbed. It is DECEIVING.  I tilt the pot to see through the clear lid how much liquid is left to be absorbed. It takes about 60-75 minutes for mine to be cooked completely.

Remove from heat.  Stir and top.

Topping ideas:
Baked, spiced sweet potato chunks
Black beans
Avocado
Salsa verde
Cheese
Sour cream
Pepitas (green pumpkin seeds)
