Jalapeno (Cabai Jalapeno)Photo From : HerePreparation (Cara Membuat)
-
In a heavy-based 3-quart saucepan with a tight
lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, poblano, and garlic,
and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add the chili powder and cumin and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and the spices are very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add the rice and salt, and stir well to coat
each grain with oil. Toast for a full 5 minutes, stirring regularly to
keep the grains separated and to prevent them from sticking to the
bottom of the pan (the rice may turn opaque before 5 minutes is up, but
keep going). Reduce the heat to low if there are any signs of scorching
Tip : Fluff the rice by slipping the tines of a fork down into the rice alongside the edge of the pan. Gently lift and toss the rice toward the center of the pan. Continue this process as you work your way around the perimeter. Then add your finishing-touch ingredients and gently fold them in with the fork, using a similar gentle fluffing motion. - Add the chicken broth and tomatoes, stir once, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the pilaf sit, still covered, for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, finely grate 1 tablespoon zest from the lime, and then cut the lime into wedges.
- Once the pilaf
has rested, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Using the
fork, gently fold in the cilantro, jalapeno, and lime zest. Season to
taste with salt. Serve with the lime wedges for spritzing over the rice.
Good Luck!
