Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large white onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon minced seeded serrano chiles

2 cups long-grain white rice

3 1/4 cups low-salt chicken broth

3/4 teaspoon salt

~~~~

Cilantro Dressing: (this recipe uses only 1/2 cup...I used the rest to drizzle over the seafood salad linked in the intro)

1 1/4 cups (packed) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

1 cup olive oil

5 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 garlic cloves, peeled

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon minced seeded serrano chile

Directions

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion, garlic, and serrano; sauté until onion is translucent, about 9 minutes.

Mix in rice; stir 2 minutes.

Mix in broth and salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until rice is just tender and broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes.

Transfer rice to bowl; cool to barely lukewarm, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 hours.

Add 1/2 cup Cilantro Dressing to rice; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

(NOTE: Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

~~~~

Make Cilantro Dressing:

Combine all ingredients in processor. Blend until almost smooth. Season dressing with salt and pepper.

(NOTE: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature; rewhisk before using.)
