This is a local dish. Central Cafe is a nice little restaurant and this recipe comes from Seasoned with Sun. A wonderful cookbook by the Junior Leage of El Paso. I made a few changes..of course! The original recipe calls for long grain rice and long green chiles, roasted and peeled. You can make it their way or mine, your choice.

Great Rice! I doubled the jalapeno and it was delicious! I used Brown Chicken Stock (56806) and served it with some Cuban steaks! Thanks for another winner Paula!

I loved it!!! My oven was in use, so after sauteing, I put it in my rice cooker. I think I used about 1-1/2 cups stock. Next time I might add some ginger too! For ZWTIII.

No need to eat boring rice again when you can prepare this little jewel. Very nicely seasoned! I used "Thai rice" as that is what I had on hand and found that after 20 minutes I still had lots of liquid so I upped the oven temp to 400° and after just another 10-15 minutes the rice was perfectly cooked (the difference could well be the type of rice used?). Anyway, I'll be doing this one again. Thanks for posting!
