👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
💡 전문가 팁: Rinsing removes excess starch, leading to fluffier rice.
2
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh cilantro, garlic cloves, chopped green bell pepper, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a smooth, vibrant green sauce forms.
💡 전문가 팁: If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
3
In a medium saucepan or caldero, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. If using, add the sofrito and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir for about 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the grains.
5
Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Stir in the prepared cilantro sauce. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the cilantro sauce is well incorporated into the liquid.
6
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Avoid lifting the lid during simmering to maintain steam.
7
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
💡 전문가 팁: Fluffing helps to separate the grains and ensures an even texture.
