Arroz Verde Al Horno Green Rice Casserole

    I scooped this one up froom lottie & doof's blog. Supposedly, the recipe is directly from Mercadito's Restaurant in NYC, a small Mexican restaurant in the east village. I have seen in my own Walmart Oaxaca and Manchego cheeses. The Oaxaca can be substituted with fresh mozzarella. I've never heard of epazote and is described as an herb with a really distinctive flavor, somewhere between licorice, tarragon and gasoline. Sounds delicious, right? Well, another source states it's strong flavor is slightly bitter with hints of lemon. I've listed suitable substitutions or, as suggested, omit it altogether.

    Steps

    Done

    Place First Six Ingredients in a Blender and Puree Well. Set Aside. Heat Butter in a Large Pot Over Medium Heat Until Melted, Add Onion and Saut For 1 Minute. Add the Green Broth and Bring to a Boil, Add Salt (2 Tablespoons Were Recommended and Seems Excessive, but States the Broth Should Be Very Salty. I Would Edge on the Careful Side and Add Less). Add the Rice to the the Broth and Bring to Boil. Reduce Heat to Low and Simmer Covered For 15-25 Minutes. (check After 15 Minutes and Stir With Spoon, Continue Cooking If Needed).

    A delicious drink that reminds me of those little orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream cups I had when I was a kid now with a grown-up attitude I truly recommend using the Tropicana brand orange juice
