I thought this would be a copy of a recipe that I love from a local restaurant I love, sadly it didn’t come close to fitting the bill. I was hoping it would be right on the money but it wasn’t.

Don’t get me wrong the recipe is really good. If you like cilantro you will love this rice. This recipe has a nice and spicy but you can control that with the amount of jalapenos you use. You ca also cut down on the garlic, but I wouldn’t. The garlic really melds this recipe together. I originally posted this recipe in 2009 so I have no idea who I owe credit to for you recipe. If it's you please let me know.

Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • (2 ounce) jalapeno, chopped devein for a milder taste or use (4 ounce) can of chopped green chilies

  • 2 cups chicken stock
