Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Prepare the salsa: Place the tomatillos, jalapenos and water in a blender or possibly food processor fitted with the metal blade. Puree just till chunky. Then add in the onion, cilantro and salt and puree about 2 min more, or possibly till no large chunks remain.
  3. Add in the poblano chiles, lettuce leaves, scallions, garlic, water and salt and process till liquefied. (If using a blender, work in small batches.) Set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Saute/fry the rice, stirring constantly, till golden brown and crackling, about 5 min. Pour in the reserved green puree and stir to combine. Transfer to a 4-qt baking dish, cover with foil and bake till the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 30 to 35 min. Stir with a fork and serve warm.
  4. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
