Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Put the rice into a bowl & pour very hot water over to cover; stir & set aside for 10 mins.
Step #2 Drain in a strainer & rinse in cold water; drain again & set aside.
Step #3 Heat the oil in a heavy pan, & fry over fairly high heat, stir the rice into it, stirring & scraping the bottom of the pan, for about 5 mins.
Step #4 Add the onion & chile strips & continue frying for 4 mins or until the onion is translucent.
Step #5 Meanwhile, put 1 c of the broth into a mixer jar; add the garlic, parsley, & epazote & mix until smooth.
Step #6 Add this to the frying rice & continue frying & reducing the puree over quite high heat, stirring & scraping the bottom of the pan, until the rice is dry.
Step #7 stir in the the rest of the broth, & cook over fairly high heat, uncovered, add salt to taste, until the liquid has been absorbed and there are air holes in the rice.
Step #8 Cover with a towel & lid and continue cooking over low heat/flame for 5 mins.
Step #9 remove this from the heat & set aside, still covered, in a warm place for the rice to swell up.
Step #10 Before serving, turn the rice over with a fork from the bottom where a lot of the flavor & oil will have settled.
