Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Heat water to boiling, and add bouillon. Stir to dissolve, and set aside.
Step 3
In small bowl, combine poblano chile, basil, mint and oregano, and Adobo to taste. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in ovenproof saucepan over medium heat, and sauté shallots until translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 5
Add rice, and sauté until coated with oil and heated through, about one minute. Rice may jump or pop.
Step 6
Add bouillon water and herb mixture to saucepan, and bring to simmer, stirring once or twice to prevent rice from clumping or sticking to bottom of pan.
Step 7
Cover pan, and place in oven. Cook until rice is tender, about 12-14 minutes.
Step 8
Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for five minutes to steam. Uncover, and separate rice grains with fork, releasing steam.
Step 9
Season with more Adobo to taste. Serve at once.
Using the pilaf technique, you may flavor the rice with any favorite combination of herbs and spices.
