Hatch Green Chile Rice

If you're a fan of the restaurant chain  Chuy's, you will like this recipe. It was there that I first tasted green chile rice and there where my mouth felt as if it was on fire after eating it! I don't think mine is quite as spicy as theirs, but I think it's pretty close.

1 cup long grain rice

2 cups water

1 large chicken bouillon cube

2 tbs vegetable oil

3-4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbs ground comino

2 tsp whole comino

1 tsp who black peppercorns

2 yellow onion, chopped

1 roma tomato, chopped
1/2 cup frozen corn

1  4 ounce can Hatch hot diced green chilies

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

In a molcajete or spice grinder, grind garlic, cominos and peppercorns. Heat a deep pan with lid. Add oil then add rice and cook until rice begins to change color, add ground seasoning and cook a few seconds longer. In the meantime, microwave water with bouillon cube in a measuring cup til simmering and cube can be easily broken down, add to rice. Add remaining ingredients, stir to mix and bring to a boil. Cover with lid and turn heat down til it is almost off (it should be on a very very low simmer). Cook until water is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.
