| 1. Cover the raw rice in very hot water and set aside to soak for 15 minutes. | 2. Drain and rinse under cold water. | 3. Drain the rice well and spread out to dry on a towel or a large baking sheet in an area with good ventilation for about an hour.It is important that the rice not be too wet when you fry it. | 4. Meanwhile ,place the poblano chiles,chopped and deveined,1/4 cup of the cilantro and about 1/4 cup of the broth in a blender and blend to a smooth puree.You may strain the puree if you want it to be very smooth(I rarely do as any miniscule pieces will be cooked and soft at the end). | 5. Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat until hot.Add the rice and cook,stirring,for a minute or two. | 6. Add the onion and lower the heat slightly,cooking for another couple of minutes,stirring frequently,until the onion is translucent and the rice sounds like sand when stirred. | 7. Add the chile puree and cook until it thickens slighty. | 8. Add the broth,lime juice,the remaining cilantro,and salt,to taste(you may want to omit the salt if the broth is salty). | 9. Bring to a boil.When it comes to a boil,cover the pot,and lower the heat to low.Simmer for 20 minutes,or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the broth. | 10. Serve hot. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
