Arroz Verde

You want this rice. Allison made it for her baby blessing, and I needed the recipe right away. Just whip it up before you start cooking the rest of your meal,  then it will be done baking when you're ready to eat. I always did red rice before, but if I have time and ingredients I will choose this. Yeah, there's a lot of butter.  Let me know if you use less and it works. The spinach cancels the butter, right? It's delish!

In a blender, mix together:

1/2 cup tightly packed cilantro leaves

1 cup spinach leaves

1 can chicken broth

1 1/4 cup milk

1tsp salt

Heat in a skillet:

1 Tbsp. olive oil

3 Tbsp. butter

Brown in butter/oil mixture:

1/4 cup chopped onion, then add

1 clove garlic, minced, then add

1 1/2 cups long grain rice

Put browned rice mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.  Pour green mixture over top.  Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.
