White-Rice Pilaf with Corn, Roasted Chiles, & Fresh Cheese
Tara's Notes
We like this to serve this rice pilaf with Mexican or New Mexican food as an alternative to the often soggy tomato based dish.

Ingredients
Method
-
About 40 minutes before serving, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and onion and cook until the onion is translucent but not brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the broth to the rice mixture along with the salt, chiles and corn and bring to a simmer. Stir well, scrape down the sides of the pan, cover and simmer over medium low heat for 15 to 18 minutes. The rice should have absorbed all the cooking liquid.
-
Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the crumbled cheese and toss with a fork to mix the ingredients and stop the cooking. Scoop into a serving bowl, decorate with cilantro or parsley and serve.
